WHAT I LIKED: Two words: Tom Hanks. Yes this is arguably the legend's best performance, and it just goes to show what talent he has in the fact that he can literally hold an entire movie on his own. The character he builds is really meaningful, and the paces he's put through make for a very despairing and heart-breaking experience indeed, and all in all the film simply proves what remarkable engagement a talent like this can unlock.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The plot does drift to shore a little in the second act as it is ultimately just the same story dealing with the same ideas pretty much from start to finish.
VERDICT: Tom Hanks delivers one of the most impressive performances in history and holds a two hour movie entirely on his shoulders. Amazing.2 member like this review.
