All is Lost Film 4/50

Rule #1: Don't sail alone.
Rule #2: See Rule #1

In Castaway 2: The Search for Wilson, we join Robert Redford as he wakes up to discover his yacht is taking on water. He manages to patch a hole in side of the vessel (a hole caused by a freight container that had fallen into the ocean) just in time for a whopper of a storm to undo all of his hard epoxy work. He is forced to abandon ship, and we are forced to watch him continue his adventure in making bad decisions from the comfort of a rubber lifeboat.

The story reminds me of Gravity, another survival story where the lead ends up spending most of the film talking to no one. I was secretly hoping that the end would reveal to the audience that Redford's character was actually some sort of unapologetic sociopath or child molester or the such, ultimately leading us to question why we would root for someone we know nothing about to survive. Instead, we just get a survival story starring Robert Redford.

Also, freight ships are the worst.
