I interviewed Hanks years ago for "Cast Away." Nice, charming fellow. But when I asked him one seemingly innocent question - why he hadn't played a villain up till that point - he snapped at me in a way that wasn't justified. I didn't feel I was challenging him with the question, but that's the way he took it.

Exactly ... exactly ... exactly.

How other critics missed the essential truths you illuminate here is beyond me. This is really the only review you need to read for this film.

As bad as you fear this clip will be ... actually watching it reveals its much, much worse. To call it unprofessional is only the start of the conversation.

Bill O'Reilly on his worst, most blustery day would never behave in such a fashion.
