In the beginning of the movie, as the camera tilts down Chuck's fireplace, you can see the book "Sailing Alone Around the World" by Joshua Slocum. See more »
Goofs
Early on in his ordeal and early in the morning when Chuck sights a light off on the horizon, as he is prepping to paddle out to the ship which he assumes is there, you can see the rising sun in the same direction off to the left of the light. However, as he starts his short ill fated journey towards that ship's light, the sun is behind him. See more »
As the credits are "in order of appearance," Tom Hanks is listed a significant way down the list of actors/roles, not at the top as one would expect. See more »
7.5 actually.
Tom Hanks offers another amazing performance. (Probably his 2nd best after Forrest Gump) He can carry a full movie on his own by just using body language and emotion. And also the Wilson part is ridiculous. Haha. Well done.
P.s. I love the symbolic ending. Its about destiny and future and having the choice to take your life in any direction of your preference. Nice.
