Cast Away (2000)

Tom Hanks as his best, once again.
Wonderful film. Amazing storyline, although a smidge far fetched, is believable. Prepare for an emotional roller-coaster ride and to be immersed in the film.... you just about feel like you're right along side Chuck Noland and Wilson.

Hanks saves the film
There some good things in Cast Away take Tom Hank's performance for example but that it's it. The rest of the cast isn't in the film long enough for one to get a vibe of how they would have acted. For over an hour there's no dialouge jsut Hanks standing around. If you're a Hanks fanatic then this is the movie for you, otherwise stay away.

A sad tale
I liked the movie, good performances all around. While you can be excited for Hank's survival skills, you also know the inevitable. It is a very long movie, full of emotion, and for suckers like me that have to have a happy ending, this may be the one to skip.

Hanks is on a fedex job on Christmas Eve that he really doesnt want to do, but he does it as he is a workaholic. The plane crashes, and Hanks survives with the many packages in transit.

It was a good movie, worth seeing, but I wouldnt own it as I know seeing it once I wouldnt be in the mood to see it again.
