Best film of 2013

Rating: 10/10 (6 February 2014)

Many great films came out in 2013. I loved gravity, 12 years a slave, the wolf of Wall Street, and her; but captain Phillips is the best. Amazingly intense. As soon as the pirates are on board you are on the edge of your seat. Hanks is amazing as ever, and I have no idea how he didn't get an Oscar nomination for it. Barkhad Abdi who did get a nomination for best supporting actor is brilliant as well. Consider it's his first film performance. The performances are tense and believable and a genuine sense of fear is created throughout. The dialogue between the pirates becomes extremely scary, and the finale is perfect. I saw it twice just to make sure it was that good. Brilliant 10/10.
