...and than I understood I was wrong

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2005)

After 15 minutes I thought: I can't believe that Tom (Hanks) and Steven (Spilberg) have done something like that. What the hell could happen to make this movie a little bit interesting and less obvious? I had the sensation that a brilliant idea regarding the location for a whole movie (a terminal in the JFK airport) was up to finish in the most boring event in the history of the cinema. And than I understood I was wrong. As usual, Steven was able to bring the movie at an emotional level and "poesia" came out of the images. In this, he was helped very well by a Tom Hanks able to avoid the risk to make a caricature of an eastern man in a grotesque situation. I suggest everybody to watch the movie, because at the end of the 2 hours you will feel better. Demis
