Yet another Tom Hanks film. A FedEx engineer has his plane crash and survives four years on a desert island before making a raft and attempting to escape. It’s a moving story with a surprising amount of humour as a result of “Wilson” his football “friend”. It’s impressive how the film allows for the passing of time, with Hanks visibly losing weight as well as gaining hair. I also like the way it didn’t simply end with his rescue, but instead started to ask some of the “What now?” questions. The slight cop out was how well-adjusted he seemed after four years away from all human contact. Where were the psychologists and therapists?
