During a solo voyage in the Indian Ocean, a veteran mariner (Robert Redford) awakes to find his vessel taking on water after a collision with a stray shipping container. With his radio and navigation equipment disabled, he sails unknowingly into a violent storm and barely escapes with his life. With any luck, the ocean currents may carry him into a shipping lane -- but, with supplies dwindling and the sharks circling, the sailor is forced to face his own mortality.

A vital, exciting piece of work from Mr. Redford, an actor whom you'd have been forgiven for counting out by now.

4.5/5

It's a rare example of pure cinema, and that, in itself, gives it a stature to which few Hollywood films these days aspire.

It’s engaging, thrilling and speaks to something about the human spirit that is inspiring. Easily one of the year’s best indie films.

3/4

All is Lost is a commendable and engaging motion picture, but also a rare achievement in spare filmmaking.

Few actors can hold a movie solo. Redford can. Speaking as a sailor, this series of unfortunate events is both credible and quite accurate.

This movie became very boring. Should have been a 30 minute movie.

This character played by Redford should never have been allowed near a boat let alone on a solo circumnavigation of the globe. I like Redford as an actor but this character was functionally incapable. Its lke someone who has never been on a boat, or rarely goes outside wrote this scirpt.

Best movie ever if your into self mutilation. My girlfriend fell asleep, and choked on popcorn. My dad loved it, he doesn't believe in love.
