Unreal story and conveyed in such a REAL MANNER, you felt as though you we're a part of it! DEFINATE 5+ STARS to the cast and all involved. Mindblowing. I WAS MOVED TO TEARS AT THE LAST SCENE. UNREAL ACTOR.

I believed that every character was real, there was no bias in each character's presentation. I particularly liked the ending as each character comes to reconciliation with what has happened. It is very overwhelming and real.

Talk about a captivating movie, this was filled with action and suspense. Tom Hanks has been in many movies which were all good but, personally I can honestly say, this one is my favorite one!
