A great performance by Tom Hanks

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2014)

This movie is very exciting, almost from the beginning to the end. Tom Hanks and Barkhad Abdi deliver a truthful performance.
The movie is about Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks) who is a captain on a big Maersk container ship. Everything goes as planed until a unidentified boat with Somalians. The Somalians soon hijack the ship and get in control with it. As the crew tries to stop them, the Somalians take Richard Phillip as a prisoner on a life-boat from the Maersk ship. The Somalians think that they are in control but soon the US force shoots the Somalians and free Richard Philips.
A great movie with a lot of thrilling and excitement. A great performance. Defiantly a must watch movie if you want a good and touchy movie. 8 out of 10.
