Hanks' best work in quite a while.

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2014)

Tom Hanks is one of those actors that I am always on the lookout for what they are doing next,and are seldom disappointed by.Hanks has had a ten year plus dry spell when it comes to my taste.Not since Cast Away has he offered me something that I would consider owning.Finally,Captain Phillips has hit the target.This is Tom's best work in quite a while.The film is a very engrossing display of intense acting by Hanks and his supporting cast.First time actor Barkhad Abdi delivers what is among the most impressive first time acting performances that I have ever witnessed.Well worth the rental,and well worth a spot on the DVD shelf.
