Modern Day Pirate Attacks

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2019)

This movie looks simple but has many layers. This movie seems like Pirates = Bad Guys and American Sailors = Good Guys. But this is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a thriller that keeps your focus without big explosions or aliens. This movie is human versus human. I like that this is not a cliche action flick with a clear Hero and Villain. This movie shows the Somali Pirates have no other realistic and available option but to work as pirates. You feel bad for them but you do not root for them. Tom Hanks does an amazing job as Captain Phillips and makes you think he is in real danger. Captain Phillips is not your typical action-thriller. This movie is amazing and is like no other movie I have seen.
