The movie All Is Lost (2013) copied the storyline from Life of Pi (2012, USA), leaving out the tiger and the beautiful scenery. Considering the tiger was the best part of the storyline, this movie was rather dull. Apart from a short monologue in the beginning, the main and only character Robert Redford spoke exactly 3 times. He said "SOS!", "Help!" and "Help!" or something. Pi from Life of Pi at least was smart enough to talk to himself and communicate with the tiger. In Cast Away (2000, USA ) Tom Hanks found a way to entertain us as well, despite being alone on an island for years.
While the sailboat turned over and over, the camera angle was so bad, I got seasick after 15 minutes and had to close my eyes for another 20 minutes. The audience hated the movie. Everyone thought Redford was meant to die, since he was the unluckiest fella in the world and God obviously didn't want him to survive. When all seemed lost, a mysterious hand appeared out of nowhere and rescued him from drowning. During the credits "Our man" Robert Redford was the only cast member listed. So whose hand was it then? Was it the hand of the tiger, as it wasn't worth mentioning? People say this was one hell of a performance from Robert Redford. Maybe he was good. Compared to Cast Away though, nobody can beat Tom Hanks at his craft, can they?
