Two hours, felt like 4 hours, should of been 90 minutes.

Rating: 6/10 (18 October 2013)

Based on a true story, I always try to put myself in the situation and how I would react to my surroundings as the movie plays. The first thing is the feeling of fear the begins to overcome you when the Captain of the ship Tom Hanks warns the crew of the Somali pirates following them. Then as they are about to aboard you sense that feeling of despair and how you would fight to survive for your life. As Hanks deals with the Pirates, the crew is hiding in the engine room and begin to behave like some silly scary Movie spoof doing everything their not supposed to do. From this point the flick drags on and you almost are able to predict what will happen next even if you don't know the true story. After the crew is rescued, Hanks is taken in for his medical exam and debriefing. This is the scene where he is absolutely magnificent and almost brought me to tears. He portrays a person who is still in shock,unaware of his surroundings,obviously suffering from PTSD and that scene alone should qualify him for a Best Actor nominee. This would of been a pure firecracker of a flick if it didn't drag on so long.
