Customer Ratings & Reviews

Honestly if I could give the film 5 stars I would as Tom Hanks delivers his signiture amazing performance. However the film, meaning the story, script... I mean this story was rather dull. Typical American Small business going after a lucrative Arabic contract in the broiling middle east only to be jerked around by the royalty that runs the country. The side story between Tom Hanks & the oppressed female doctor gave more interesting dialog with yet some rather gross physical ailments that could easily have been changed to something that didn't make you want to stop eating! I watch all my films on a 180" screen with projector giving an IMAX feeling at home. There was nothing about the sound that stood out. Picture quality was amazing! The director did a great job of making the King and his subordinated look like a bunch or rich jerks, and to top it off the ending of the deal only adds to the frustration. I often wondered while placing this film in the section that's dedicated for films to only be watched maybe once every 10+ years, if the director meant to take such a brilliant actor and make him appear.... Nevermind, I don't recommend. Im sorry. Everytime I think back on this film I get frustrated.

I believe this is one of the few Tom Hanks movies that I gave a low rating to. Hanks is a salesman for a electronic company hired to pass off a communication device that presents itself as a hologram. The difficulty gets more intense because it's the king of Saudi Arabia he has to see.

We bought the movie because it was a Tom Hanks movie! Had he not been in the film, we would not have watched the entire movie but we kept thinking the story line would improve. It was an o.k. film only because of Hanks. Would not recommend anyone spend any money on this!

B I ugh the this movie for one reason, Tom hanks. Very disappointed and have to say ok my very surprised I feel this way but both my wife and I were disappointed. We just saw Sully, much better performance

Not Tom's best effort. Could have been it just wasn't a compelling character or story. I generally like his work, just not this movie.

Movie is mediocre. Not much to it. Weak story line. Movie drags in many places. Almost decided to not finish the movie.

I like Tom Hanks movies. This one was not one of his better ones. Had alot of slow scenes. Would not watch again

To me this was a fair to average movie. not any substance to keep my interest in it.

The Movie Was Alright And The Acting Was Ok Too. B-}
