I should tell you that I'm Catholic and I haven't seen either movie. Not because I cared what people were saying, but because I have children and am limited to my nights out. Consequently, I have to choose very carefully what movies I can actually go see at the theater.
But I do like Tom Hanks and have seen most of his movies, usually on DVD, though.

I think Tom Hanks is a great actor, it's just a shame he's wasting his time on this middle-of-the-road movie. It's so uninspired. It's like a paint-by-numbrs thriller. They're doing all the right things, but there's no heat behind the story, no side you're cheering to win. It's just a dull, bland mess
