All is Lost (2013)
Written and directed
by J. C. Chandor this film stars Robert Redford. On a sail boat in
the Indian Ocean a lone sailor attempts to survive a series of
misfortunes.
I was a big fan of
Chandor's first film so I was really looking forward to this film and
there is a lot of skill used to bring off a whole film with
practically no dialogue and only one actor. Redford does a good job
in the lead role but the film never asks us anything about the nature
of survival like The Wall (2012) for example. Unfortunately while the
film always holds your attention it never becomes more than a
straight survival peace and the ending is an annoyingly cheesy
cliché.
3/5
