A Charming Movie

Rating: 8/10 (9 January 2017)

This is a movie about little people who do their jobs every day. Tom Hanks plays a man who is caught at an airport because his country is experiencing a coup. What that means is that for the moment he has no country. He has no visa to get into the United States but depending on what ultimately happens in his country will determine if he can go back there. He begins to try to survive at the airport by figuring out how to find food and maintaining himself. Of course, there are bad guys who want him to accidentally set foot on American soil so they can arrest him. The airport officials are also harassing him. He meets Catherine Zeta Jones who is having a bad time and the two of them have a sort of relationship. We get to know all the airport employees who befriend the man. This is one of those movies that anyone would enjoy. Hanks is delightful as the main character. There is also a really touching subplot that keeps our interest.
