Incredible acting makes it feel so real

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2020)

In my opinion this is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. It's a movie that can be classified as an action/thriller without requiring huge fight scenes or special effects to captivate you. The acting by Tom hanks is awesome as he almost always is and he is very convincing as his character progresses through many emotions and feelings as he starts out as a confident captain but by the end of the movie he is traumatized and scared and Tom hanks displays it beautifully. The authentic simialian actors were very impressive too for not having much acting experience they were able to portray charectors anywhere from insane men focused on money to a young boy caught up in a life of crime he has no hope to escape. It is beautifully shot and directed on an accurate set and the use of a shaky cam for many shots really makes you few like you are in the movie on the ship and especially the lifeboat. Overall one of my favorite movies and though I have seen it numerous times it stills make me feel suspense ever rewatch. Would recommend 10/10
