I have watched many of the horror films released this year, and not one of them was as tense or frightening as J. C. Chandor's "All Is Lost". Every moment is terrifying, the film starts with a yacht colliding with a floating container 1700 knots offshore, and every scenario following is as thrilling as the last. Robert Redford, playing a character simply known as "Our Man", is the only face seen in the entire film, and it may be one of his finest roles to date. He barley speaks, you don't get any back story on him, and yet, you feel like you know him so well. There aren't many men who could pull this off, but Redford does it without missing a beat. I haven't felt this afraid of water since "Open Water", and I couldn't have enjoyed it more.
