A brilliant flick!

Rating: 10/10 (19 November 2013)

"Captain Phillips" is based on the true story of Captain Richard Phillips. Who was taken hostage when an act of piracy on his ship, in the middle of the Indian Ocean, didn't go exactly to plan.
The true story in itself, is interesting. But when you look at some of the people who are involved in the movie. You Will understand why it has turned out so great.
Tom Hanks gives yet another amazing performance, in a movie that's full off them (If you don't believe me, at least wait till you've seen him in the last 15 minutes or so) Plus the First time actors playing the pirates are all great too. Being genuinely menacing looking, and also believable in their parts.
These guys all bring to life what is an engrossing, edge of your seat kind of movie. Some have complained that it tweaks the truth a bit about what actually happened. But from what I've read since. I think I saw bits of the film touch on a bit of everything that was relevant. Its a brilliant flick either way. Another one that almost makes up for all the rubbish I had to sit through during the summer.
