Not great but good

Rating: 7/10 (27 June 2004)

I did not mind this movie. It could have been very dry, considering how long one could make a movie about one place an airport. It had villains namely the immigration officer. Good guys Tom Hanks. A love interest the flight attendant. Even some mystery, the other people who work there. The movie is sappy, but that is it's intention. Directed at a quick pace. The movie has a set goal, Tom Hanks visit to New York. I believe the real life guy was stranded in the Paris airport, when trying to arrive to Holland. My guess is that this is what influenced this movie. I give this movie a 7 out of 10. I believe people can adapt to many different environments. Tom Hanks did his usual good acting and made the audience feel for this individual. I could not even imagine being put in this situation. I, personally, think that many people would go crazy.
