This true-life dramatic thriller is packed with gripping intensity and incredible performances from an amazing cast led by Tom Hanks.

'Gravity' review: Unrelentingly intense, visually stunning
Incredible acting, screenplay, cinematography, editing and 3D - 'Gravity' makes its claim as the best all-around film of 2013.
'In A World' review: Quirky, funny look into voiceover biz lacks much drama
A nice, wandering film that's relaxed in its tone and conflict ... although cute, 'In A World' doesn't create great drama.
'Don Jon' review: A lesser director-writer-star would have a mess on his hands
'Don Jon' is funnier than you expect, smarter than it looks and more touching/sincere than anticipated.
2013 Summer Movie Scorecard
With autumn just days away, it's the perfect time to look back at the massive tentpole theatrical releases of summer 2013.
'You're Next' review: A refreshing, witty slasher/horror-genre game changer
The marketing and trailers don't do this horror flick justice. Every ad makes 'You're Next' look like just another slasher - but this entertaining thriller is an exciting new entry into a very tired genre.
'Kick-Ass 2' review: Relentless flurry of violence, tired story, thin characters
While the original 'Kick-Ass' was a refreshing blend of joyful violence, its sequel is a muddled, uninspired/meandering exercise in failed shock value and poor story narrative.
'Blue Jasmine' review: Cate Blanchett captivates in Woody Allen's latest gem
Woody Allen's latest dramatic comedy features a superb cast and is highlighted by one of the great acting performances of 2013.
'Elysium' review: Well-made sci-fi film, not well-written story
This grim sci-fi flick amazes with its richly realized world and innovative ideas, however, it disappoints with a flat story at its core.
'We're the Millers' review: Not worth getting to know this family
A potentially great comedic premise sadly resorts to cheap jokes and cobbling together a story out of a mountain of coincidental events.
'Prince Avalanche' review: Quirky non-story suffers glacial pace
Not quite a comedy and lacking enough plot to call it a drama, 'Prince Avalanche' is a slowly-moving film that defies convention or genre.
'The Way Way Back' review: Great cast + solid humor = great coming-of-age flick
One of the strongest films of 2013 is a simple, brilliantly executed coming-of-age story of a teen's summer vacation to a seaside town.
'The To-Do List' review: Leave this one off your 'must watch' list
This 90s-era comedy is essentially a girl version of 'American Pie,' only way less charming.
'Pacific Rim' review: The most fun, ambitious summer blockbuster yet
This robots-versus-monsters action flick will satisfy every fan of mecha, anime or the old 'Kaiju' Japanese monster movies.
'Stories We Tell' review: Heartfelt, compelling genre-bending work of art
Simply calling 'Stories We Tell' a documentary is quite reductive. This is a masterpiece of storytelling and a layered, captivating look back at the lingering effects of 30-year old family secret.
'White House Down' review: Formulaic, absurd fun
If you're able to turn your brain off for two hours, 'White House Down' is an incredibly fun summer action flick.
'Upside Down' DVD review: Forced romance, silly sci-fi logic
'Upside Down' puts its other foot in the grave wrapping its own convulted sci-fi premise with a thin story and even more meager screenplay.
'The Bling Ring' review: Lobotomized take on cult of celebrity
It's apparent the intent was to create a scathing commentary on those obsessed with celebrities - but in doing so, 'The Bling Ring' sinks to the level of stupidity of those its critiquing.
'Monsters University' review: Part annoying cartoon, part fun adventure
The latest Pixar offering is a two-headed monster - one head is an unremarkable-to-cloying CGI kid's movie while the other head is a daring adventure and thoughtful story.
'World War Z' review: Terrifying, intense, cobbled-together zombie thrill ride
While the debate between 'running zombies vs. slow-moving/Romero zombies' may not be settled anytime soon, 'Z' opts for a borderline super-powered army of the undead.
