Possibly Spielberg's worst movie

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2005)

I have seen most of Spielberg's movies. I loved some, and I felt others were barely OK. But I was embarrassed to watch this one. I think this is his worst movie, by far. Compared to 'The Terminal', 'Minority Report' plays like 'The Third Man'.
The movie is naturally technically perfect. Why was it made? I speculate the movie wants to be a very subtle and noble piece of art concocted to denounce the oppression of a pure but honest European guy by the cold and not humane American administration. The end result is so simplistic and exploitative that I found the movie simply insulting and hateful. The only word which comes to my mind is trash.
As for Tom Hanks' acting, which I usually love, well...no comment. A final note: the character of C. Zeta-Jones ends up fulfilling all clichés about (female) flight personnel; does not that say it all?
Do not degrade yourself by watching this movie.
