One of the best movies of 2013

Rating: 10/10 (6 June 2014)

Paul Greengrass's Captain Phillips is the riveting true story of the 2009 hijacking of the MV Maersk Alabama by the pirates of Somalia. The movie stars Tom Hanks who brings the real life character of Captain Richard Phillips to life on the screen, and also in one of his best performances which too bad for him he did not get an Oscar nomination for his Oscar level work in the film. Director Paul Greengrass has crafted a film that goes on a par with JFK, Munich, Thirteen Days, Mississippi Burning, and The French Connection. Though historically accurate throughout, this movie made my list of the top 10 films of last year because of how well this movie was done. What a wonderful piece of work!
