Now, I like Tom Hanks - and with that you know there's a 'but' coming and you know there's a Tom Hanks Movie coming. I like his style of acting, I like his sincerity his likeability and has manner of speech. I think personally, that Tom Hanks' strength in acting comes from his interactions with other characters. I think even in a position where he should be hated as the bad guy he is still likeable. However in this Movie: 'Cast Away' I believe that all of this falls on its face. I believe for me the greatest let down with this Movie is the fact that the whole point of the Movie revolves around a single character's isolation. I can only say that I hope during production he realised the Movie would be a pain and boring and that this drove him to a mini-breakdown and thus allowed him to accurately portray the mentality of a person who for all intents and purposes has 'lost it'.
I know my view isn't shared by critics given this Movie's award nominations and reviews and its score on IMDB but I still think that really no-one should see this Movie.
Here's the trailer:
