Terminal (2004)

Terminal: Directed by Steven Spielberg. With Tom Hanks, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Stanley Tucci, Chi McBride. An Eastern European tourist unexpectedly finds himself stranded in JFK airport, and must take up temporary residence there.

“Although I should not have been surprised, Spielberg and Hanks, had greatness written all over it. But I got suckered into a lot of the bad press around the film and suppose I judged it before I had watched it. Anyway, I have now watched it and I liked it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI thought the first half of the film was absolutely fantastic, the humor, the acting, the character development – they were all good. I thought the second half of the film suffered a little from becoming a bit over emotional, the love story seemed out of sorts and the way the entire airport staff seemed to know every thing about everyone else was a bit far fetched, I worked in an airport for many years and knew virtually no-one from outside the people I worked with on a daily basis, but maybe thatu0026#39;s just me! But I forgave the film these slight nuances and allowed myself to enjoy it. I donu0026#39;t think Hanks or Spielberg will win any more Oscars, but it was a very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday night!!”
