Tom Hanks starring early noughties piece, during that period where Spielberg seemed to be concentrating more on character than spectacle (see also: "Catch Me If You Can"), with Hanks playing the part of a man stranded in New York's JFK airport after a coup d'etat in his homeland invalidates his passport.

And also, apparently, inspired by the real-life case of a man stranded in Paris Charles de Gaulle airport (where he lived for years on end).

I have to say, I did find Hanks accent in this quite hard to make out, and - whilst it's probably truer to real life - I was also quite surprised by how his relationship with Catherine Zeta Jones' flight attendant ended!

A decent enough tale of survival based on true events as 3 people are stranded when attacked by a crocodile. It's ok but a lil too long and the interest starts to go after a while. Only so much tension you can build about people stuck in a tree avoiding a crocodile!
