All Is Lost

A man alone tries to survive on his damaged boat in the middle of the ocean. The premise may not sound too exciting, but writer and director J.C. Chandor and a sole cast of Robert Redford really deliver well in this tale of survival and humanity.  I was really impressed at the real acting ability of Redford (hardly a line of dialogue) to portray a man alone trying to hold it together in the vast ocean.  The fact is that the movie not only held my attention for that long, but had me caught up in the character's plight and looking inwards.  Real acting in real quality movie, justify it's recent nominations.  Hard to believe Redford was 77 years old while making this.
