Delightful

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2004)

What a truly delightful film. I grew up with the two Toms being the major movie stars. Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise. The former stars in this movie and the fact that he has played such iconic roles as Forrest Gump completely left my mind when I saw him in this role. Hanks put in a very convincing performance. He captured the humanity of his character and sold us on the idea that he is Viktor Navorski. It is a shame this movie did not do better business. Perhaps it should have been released this time of year. All the supporting cast is wonderful. There is foundation to the characters and characters are used to drive the story. Never thought I could be interested in a movie that takes place entirely in a terminal. That was until I saw this movie. 9/10
