A fun yet dramatic spectacular movie!

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2004)

What would happen to you if you knew that your country no longer exists? Or put it in another way, while your country cease to exist, you are actually flying thousands of meters above sea level to another country, what will you do? Tom Hanks, in this Steven Spielberg production, was one of the unlucky person whom was denied access to the United States of America, and had to stay in the airport. During his stay, he got his way through by his usual acts of living skills. He got his way around, knowing people, getting away most of the time from problems, only to find himself landing into another problem. His acting skills definitely put laughs in the cinema as we watched him acting out so naturally as what a foreigner would do if they would visit another different country. Catherine Zeta-Jones is stunning and beautiful, and the part of the movie where it had romance, began from there. The story, even though predictable, it amplified the nature of a foreigner and gives a wonderful laugh throughout the whole movie. Spectacular performance, and wonderful directing. I would rate it a 8.5/10. Worthwhile watching!
