Great adaption from a true kidnapping drama

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2014)

Tom Hanks delivered a great performance as Captain Philipps. This thriller based on true events got quick a fast pace. I found very interesting how the US Marine and the SEALS affronted this Somali kidnapping situation. There were some special elements of their strategy to save Captain Philipps.
The film soundtrack was perfect combined to each scene. Last but not least only director Paul Greengrass could adapt this true story with good timing of suspense. He also succeeded in creating a dynamic final countdown.
Final vote 8/10 that matches exactly the IMDb rating.
