A Hologram for the King

A Hologram for the King Review

If you haven't taken the opportunity to see A Hologram for the King starring Tom Hanks, you should make the time. It is a lovely film about turning points and finding new direction. I also happen to think it is a great date night movie.

Tom Hanks give his usual outstanding performance, but I really enjoyed the supporting characters. The editing really gives you the feeling of days passing without change despite all of the little elements that are in fact changing. Watch for the guard at the entrance to the city.

The story tackles the concept of globalization in a more abstract way than I had expected from previews. I think you will find that very interesting as much as Allen's growing relationship with his drive Yusef.

Enjoy.
