One of Hanks' best!

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2014)

Captain Phillips is the true tale about an supply ship captain (hanks) who is taken hostage by Somali pirates. This film stuns me, easily one of the best films of 2013 and one of the best of Tom Hanks' films; it provides an in-depth account and provides edge-of-your-seat tension especially the scene's between Phillips and lead pirates Muse (Barkhad Abdi) which keeps you guessing whether Phillips is going to live. It also gives a look into the Navy SEALS who are trying to rescue him.
I couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic at the end of this film. At 2 hours long it keeps you entertained throughout and provides lots of tension especially at the climax. I think Abdi deserves a special applause as although it is his first acting role, he provides emotional depth and menace to the character; well worthy of an Oscar.
All of the cast was brilliant and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole film, extraordinary film, go and see watch it today!
