Kon-Tiki is an impressive Norwegian piece of filmmaking, based on the true story of a scientist longing to personally prove in 1947 that more than 1500 years ago people were able to sail from South America to Polynesia on a raft.
Kon-Tiki is a story about perseverance and comradeship. The cinematography is beautiful, and some of the scenes are awe-inspiring, such as the shark scenes, which reduce the Jaws characters to a bunch of pussies. 😁
Win It All felt really authentic. It's like Jake Johnson and just about everyone else in the film plays himself / herself.
The plot is slightly predictable, but that's OK. It's a sympathetic story. There were times that the continuous waffling of Jake Johnson's charming loser character annoyed me a little though. But despite the minor overacting of Jake Johnson every now and then, Win It All has an enjoyable, refreshing film style. I liked it.

Great movie, with top class performances by both Tom Hanks and the Somalian actors. A tense drama that leaves you on the edge of your seat, with the added dimension of the film being based on a true story, although you wish these things wouldn't happen for real.
