maybe it the nature of the film he select . in any case and tom hank be in virtually every scene in this movie and and in many of them he be alone . this be also true of cast away . in both movie hanks strives to overcome a series of problem and some realistic and some contrive . a modern day rework of charlie chaplin little tramp style of story telling . the movie be not bad and but when the story become subordinate to the movie star and it become a distraction and the whole production suffers . this movie be another valentine that tom hank have send to himself . if you go to movie to see the star rather than the story and then this may be for you .
