The acting was average. However, in all fairness the movie didn't have any challenging parts either, There wasn't any suspense, it wasn't an intelligent movie and the desired goal of all parties was extremely insignificant. The character development was also poor. I'm not sure why this movie was even made. It basically just went through the motions, like Hanks's prior movie when he was a boat captain. I truly prefer his earlier movies where he showed charisma and / or the movies were much more substantial. Obviously I'm in the minority as the movie received good reviews and did well in the box office; however, i do believe the points I make are accurate,
