Movie #2040 "Finch" (Apple TV) - Tom Hanks sharing screen time with only a dog and a talking robot --- but that isn't new fore the more than capable Tom Hanks --- he could be stranded on an island alone and just talk to a Wilson, a basketball -- Wait! He did that already. Okay, so this isn't new ground for him, but lots more is expected of him --- coughing up a lung, is one --- walking in hurricane weather is another --- it's a strong performance for him, and he does it well. Now for the story --- it's science Fiction, and most is hard to believe, esp. with what the robot can do. But it is a good movie for our time right now because science is the answer --- follow the science. I'd give it 3.5, longer than needed to be, I felt.
