Review of All Is Lost (2013) by Meanjoegreen — 22 Feb 2014
It will generally require a herculean effort on the parts of both the director & the single actor/actress to carry a single character story in such a manner as to keep an audience entertained & captivated.
unfortunately, this film does neither. with zero background provided, we really have no reason, other than basic human decency, to cheer him on in his struggle for survival. one wonders, for example, what possible purpose and or planning went into this misguided, catastrophe laiden misadventure.
presented in a vacuum, as it is, it comes & goes without generating much impact, and I found Redfords performance solid, but hardly spellbinding. unless you're a fan of his, i'd skip this one.
