Wow! Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2014)

Captain Phillips was not at all what I expected it be, especially since I had not seen any of the previews prior to seeing this movie. However, because I am such a big Tom Hanks fan, I decided to give it a shot and boy am I glad I did. I had no idea what the movie was about until my boyfriend told me that it was based on the true story of the pirates taking over a ship in 2009, a story I remember seeing on the news.
Well I just got finished watching this movie and it was great! It moved at just the right pace. Held my interest the whole time. The actors portraying the pirates did a convincing job in their roles as the villains. They acted with such passion which help to bring some realism to the movie, almost as if I were watching a documentary.
Needless to say, Tom Hanks has given yet another Stella performance in a role. Again, it was if I were watching then real Capt. Phillips. I'm so glad that I watched this movie. I must say that our military is awesome!!!
I recommend this movie to everyone. You will not be disappointed!
