Academy Award winner Robert Redford stars in All Is Lost, an open-water thriller about one man's battle for survival against the elements after his sailboat is destroyed at sea. Using only a sextant and nautical maps to chart his progress, he is forced to rely on ocean currents to carry him into a shipping lane in hopes of hailing a passing vessel. But with the sun unrelenting, sharks circling and his meager supplies dwindling, the ever-resourceful sailor soon finds himself staring his mortality in the face.

This ain't your typical Redford film. Mechanical and desperate at times to make drama from nothing, it fails at even the simplest tasks. The character's unrealistic bad luck and his sometimes melodramatic reactions to said bizarre bad luck left me wondering how he got into this mess. No, not that mess... this mess of a movie. I hope this great writer, director and actor redeems himself with something at least palatable soon.

Robert Redford makes a lot of great dramatic faces but we cycle through them all within the first twenty minutes of the film. The rest is watching him deal with all the problems of survival at sea though with little success. [Redford] seems weak and bumbling throughout the film - no arc. The highlight of the film is when he let's out the first expletive after discovering his water has been contaminated. I was wondering the whole time, why is this guy at sea alone in the first place? He doesn't even have a waterproof radio. The novelty of shipwreck movies has faded. Life of Pi brought a new dynamic to the genre but this film adds little. The fact that he used a sextant has no bearing on his survival and seems like a shiny toy to add interest to what was otherwise a monotonous series of episodes of "let's watch Robert Redford desalinate water with a plastic bag in the sun."

I stopped watching because the plot was so unbelievable I couldn't suspend my disbelief. You really have to at least try to have some semblance of reality to create believable drama. All I saw was Redford acting like an idiot who didn't know how to sail. First, why would he be so ambivalent to his yacht being struck? Why was he lazily splashing around while water was gushing in?? Why did he fix the antennae before the radio? Why was he shaving instead of setting the storm jib? So many unbelievable events.
