I'm still in shock

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2017)

Could there be any better portrayal of a real life dangerous sea situation than this? I have been watching movies for years. I have seen some real good movies but never felt this compelled to make an IMDb account just to review them. But this time, i couldn't help but do it.
With Tom Hanks playing the lead role, the movie had to be good. But i think the director is who needs to be applauded here for this phenomenal work of impossibleness. I was literally feeling that i'm there in the sea. I was feeling the waves, the gun shots, the fear, the tension, everything. I am still shook while writing this review.
The climax, when Captain Phillips couldn't speak a word, such a shock he was in. That moment when he started yelling that he can't take it anymore. Those last 10 minutes got me crying like never before. I can only imagine how petrifying it must have been for actual Richard Phillips.
This act takes courage. Hats off and respect to real Captain Phillips for saving lives of all his crew members jeopardizing his own and to hang in this unimaginably terrifyingly difficult situation. Amazing piece of work by US Navy as well. Nothing but a huge respect for all commanders of this rescue operation for perfect plan considering infinitely many factors that could've made it go wrong if not taken care of. Taking head shots in a wavy ocean, making sure they don't miss, making sure the wind plays the role they're expecting. It looked easy, just aim and shoot; but i can only imagine how much skill and experience it must have required to plan and execute it with ZERO error.
Hatsoff to each and every person involved in this operation.
Coming back to the movie, it'd be a injustice if Barkhad Abdi (captain of pirates) is not mentioned in this review. Though he was portraying the Pirates role, but this movie could never have been as good as it is without his flawlessly impressive performance. His character would actually make you feel terrified, such intensity and perfectness he has portrayed.
In the end, to every person out there in the universe, this movies is a MUST WATCH!!!!!!
