If you are clutching someone's hand while watching Captain Phillips, you will not leave it for the last 30 minutes without even realizing it. Such is the impact of the thrill in this movie. You can't lay your eyes off the screen, because there's always something happening- something you can't miss. What I loved was the unbiased approach used to build up the characters. At some point in time, I actually start pitying the "bad guys".
Barkhad Abdi has made a hell of a debut in his portrayal of a pirate leader for whom it's only about business and survival, and who at the same time shows glimpses of reluctant humane behavior. But it is someone else who totally steals the show in the end. After hearing about the controversies related to the true story, you might not want to worship the captain, but after watching this movie, you sure will bow down to Tom Hanks!
