Pleasant Viewing

Rating: 7/10 (19 February 2005)

Viktor Navorski (Hanks) is stranded in JFK airport after his country is no longer recognised by the U.S Government due to a military fallout.
Unable to speak English, Navorski is forced to remain in the airport, without full understanding of why? But as time passes Navorski, learns the truth about his country and has to adapt to life in the airport, with nothing but problems from the head of Security.
Spielberg and Hanks combine well to bring this tale to the screen, loosely based around real events, Spielberg uses fast direction and his usual magic to achieve a very pleasant movie, which Entertains and amuses fairly constantly throughout.
It is not a great film, but it is worthy of your attention, and can be enjoyed by most.
7/10
