Honestly I don't know where I am on this one. It's not a bad movie, it's a real event, acting is great - not only from Hanks. But after watching it I must admit I don't feel I would have missed out if I didn't.

Just great movie! The script, the cameras, the fabulous Tom Hanks performance, performance of Somali pirates. More to the point that this has really happened (don't know to what extent, but i remember reading about the sniper taking out the pirates in hostage situation, and it left me in awe then and even more now seeing it in movie). We need Oscar for this movie :)

Muse (Barkhad Abdi) is leading two small skiffs on an attack on the eponymous officer's freighter as it sails off the coat of Somalia. A certain degree of bravado and legerdemain sees the bigger ship thwart their first a More

Allow me to start with what you likely have already read — this film is well-crafted and tense procedural about a true story. The fact that I still found it tense and exciting, even when I already knew the ending (including the oft-mentioned Captain Phillips ending scene) is a high compliment.
