So Powerful, So Intense

Rating: 10/10 (28 October 2013)

This is the most intense film I've seen in a long time. Thoroughly captivating. It grabs a hold of every fibre of your being for over 2 hours solid.
Tom Hanks delivers one of his most mature performances as the unfortunate Captain Phillips. Barkhad Abdi also delivers a very convincing performance as Muse, round of applause. Everything about this film fits together so well. The build up. The background information. The camera work, the sound, the scenes, the dialogue. All of it fits together so beautifully to deliver a highly intense portrayal of what happened just 4 years ago.
Be prepared to be moved. Be prepared to be struck hard. They don't make many films like this.
