    Tom Hanks always gives a great performance in his movies. I thought the movie was meant to be of a serious nature but turned out to be rather funny at times.

    The movie was selected because of the name Tom Hanks. The acting was excellent, the script could have been better, It could have had two different endings.

    I thought this was a very good movie. My wife on the other hand did not get the message it was trying to tell. It's now one of my favorite Tom Hanks films.

    "A Hologram for the King" stars Tom Hanks as an American salesman who travels to Saudi Arabia to sell a holographic teleconferencing system to the Saudi government. His character name is "Alan Clay" and he's at a time in his life when everything is going wrong. Set in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, the scenery is mesmerizing and the chemistry is spectacular between Hanks and his talented female co-star. Definitely worth seeing!

    When I saw the trailer for this movie, I was hooked based on the storyline. After viewing the movie, the storyline was deeper than I could ever imagine.

    Not your typical Tom Hanks movie. It had nudity! I thought it was interesting mainly for its peek at life in Saudi Arabia. Not something you see much.

    I enjoy Tom Hanks. A salesman who is not that satisfied with his life but trying to put a happy face forward. Another good job of acting by Tom.

    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.
