From reading about this movie, I was expecting something... well, more. The movie seemed rather rushed, even though it was a full length film. There wasn't enough time, or effort put in to become fully engaged in the story. This was actually one of Tom Hanks worst acting skills put on display in my personal opinion. From such a topic, I expected a tear to fall at some point and well, that just did not happen. Maybe it's the age of the film when acting was quite different than it is today. I'm not sure, but I was left feeling unfulfilled.

I would compare this movie to, "Green Book", which was a masterfully powerful movie. Honestly, it wasn't even on my watch list, but someone else was watching it and I just happened to view it. For topics such as these, there needs to be an effort unmatched with emotional involvement. Philadelphia was a disappointment and while others seem to say different, I'm a pretty good judge.
