A true master

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2004)

THE TERMINAL is slick and fast. It is a picture full of camera moves I could barely comprehend yet I knew were right. Spielberg and Hanks deliver a delicious blend of comedy and drama, which, at times, is a bit preachy, but easy to forgive. Set mostly in the same location, the master filmmaker keeps the energy at eleven. Even when he's delving into his cheese vat, I enjoy watching what this man has to offer. As a result, I recommend THE TERMINAL highly. It is the work of a director at the top of his game. Unlike A.I. or HOOK, Spielberg stays away from the mundane glow of carnival lights and provides us with content. Keep going, wild one, your work is gold!
