Movie Haiku:The cinematic audacity of this film eclipses all platitudes about what it's "about." For over half its running time, one man is alone on a picture postcard island going about the profound business of staying alive -- with no special effects & a simple, naturalistic soundtrack. Bravo, Tom Hanks! Bravo, Wilson!
