Robert Redford is back with a
bang – haven’t seen him in many movies in last decade or so but this one turns
out to be surprisingly good movie. If only we all hadn’t seen “Life of Pi” last
year – this one would’ve got its due for sure. But now comparisons will
definitely take place and this one stands no chance in that case otherwise it
works like a damn good thriller for me at least. Although the movie leaves too
many questions unanswered like who the guy was, why was he at sea by himself that
too in a luxury yacht 1700 nautical miles off the nearest shore as he states in
a letter right before he presumes he is going to die that “All is lost”. It’s a
fantastic tale of survival and hope – the one with no dialogues and that was
the amazing part with no other soul in picture anywhere, no one to talk to – he
is all by himself. How his yacht crashes with a floating container, even after
temporary repairs by him (a commendable job) it finally crashes in a storm and
he is left to survive in a life boat – how long before he gives up any hope of
surviving – it was way too good than what I expected and the best part is to
see a guy his age (Late 70s) do all that its simply superb. All he could do was
with his facial expressions and body language and he succeeds damn well in that
department. I will recommend it to those who like thrillers especially the survivor
movies with two thumbs up and a 3/5 rating. Watch it for Robert Redford one of
the best performances.
