wmolony It was ALMOST too much. What could go wrong did go wrong. From one thing to the next it was a little unbelievable, but you have to stay watching hoping he comes out ok in the end...still not sure if it's a plausible story line or just multiple true stories combined into one drama.

lechvutz-59797 I always liked Robert Redford (his art and integrity, not his politics), been watching him since we were both "kids." I first took notice of him in 1965 in 1965's "Inside Daisy Clover" with Natalie Wood. That was a dumb movie, but I had a crush on the young and beautiful Natalie and imagined in my youthful silliness that she would notice me someday after I risked my life to save her from a burning car wreck. So I watched that movie more times than I care to admit. As dumb as it was, in comparison "All Is Lost" sucks more wind than the sails on Redford's boat. Maybe it's my age! Why would an old fart want to watch another old fart fumble around for an hour and a half or two without any dialog (or monologue) in a sinking sailboat? Well, he wouldn't, so he he used modern technology (On Demand) to skip ahead after the first 15 minutes to reach the expected climax in record-breaking time. Props to the geniuses in Silicon Valley (although I don't agree with their politics either) for arming me with the ability to avoid wasting my time on this boring "adventure" and allowing me to use the time saved to write this boring review.

Clifton Johnson The fact that I was riveted by a movie with zero dialog really says something. This was purely visual storytelling: visceral and compelling.

ico_mate_vt Hi, I cannot imagine a movie without a single word for almost an hour, from a big actor. The idea is good but i expected much more interesting and twisted story. Really big disappointment for me. I would never recommend this movie. I wish I've seen much more dynamic scene and provocative situations.
