A Must-See!

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2013)

I just got home from watching this movie, and I'm still at awe.
Although the trailer does give away most of the plot, I think that it didn't ruined it. The last scenes of the movie are simply breathtaking, and the most wonderful thing of it is the transparency of each character's emotions, and the mix that there is.
And it is still in this last scene where you can actually see the timeless acting from Tom Hanks! His versatility to play out very distinct, but huge rolls is incredible. Whether it is from Andrew Becket to Forrest Gump, or Captain Miller.
It is a fact that he does appear a lot on the screen, but that's just all about the relevance of the character... The movie is about the experience in first hand of the Captain, so no wonder that he's the one that ends up showing his face more often on the screen. If something like that would happen in real life, I would believe that that was how it went down.
Besides being a great story, the problematic that it addresses is still recent, and well portrayed and ends up getting in touch with a reality that it is not that known to much of the audience.
In the end, I would advise you to go watch it on the cinema if you can. Even if you're not, I would recommend you to watch wherever you can! It is smart, well-written, with an amazing acting (not only from Tom Hanks, but from the Somali Pirates as well) and a very recent and interesting theme.
