This is one of Tom Hanks best films yet! I certainly enjoyed it. Tom Hanks plays a play called Chuck Noland who works for Federal Express, who's always on the go at a moment's notice. He's called away for business on Christmas night and his girlfriend and he have Christmas in their car. When he leaves the car the last thing he says to her is that he'll be right back. Well that doesn't happen. The plane ends up in an unexpected storm, they lose radio contact, they go off course and it crashes. Chuck is the sole survivor of the crash, and washes ashore of a deserted island. While stranded there, he must learn how to survive in the wilderness by himself. A definite must see.
Tom Hanks is a splendid, captivating actor. In Cast Away, you feel like you are with Tom Hanks character, Chuck Noland, as he endures the trials and tribulations of being stranded alone on an island. If you're up for a movie of awesome acting, this is the one! On top of great acting, the movie can be viewed by both action, drama and chick flick lovers. It is a drama, but it has a little bit of each genre (action, romance, comedy, etc). It is a movie for all! If this review doesn't already say it, this movie is highly recommended and definitely a good buy!
Not a crowd-pleaser, but an engaging and emotional story that challenges the audience. The utter loneliness and sheer loveliness of the desolate island and the relentless crashing of the waves is hauntingly beautiful. Tom Hank's acting is superb and compelling.

Its Tom Hanks, what else can you say? personally I was sceptical about purchasing this one because I just couldnt picture Tom Hanks in this type of role. He played the well and I am glad I got this one. the color and settings for this movie along with the effects are totally awesome!
This is a wonderful and entertaining movie. The acting between Helen Hunt and Tom Hanks at the end of this movie is some of the best I've ever seen.
