Another Oscar for Tom Hanks ?

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2013)

Just came back from the screening of Captain Phillips.
Directed by Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Ultimatum) with the same non-stop action and intensity he is known for.
I was glued to the edge of my seat throughout the entire movie. Even though I know how it ended, the movie still kept me guessing.
Wondering how they got the US Navy to have 3 ships in the movie. It wasn't CGI. The night scenes gave the move an eerie look of reality.
The interaction of Hanks and his crew felt so real life.
Tom Hanks is simply an amazing actor. Really hope he gets nominated for Best Actor for this one. One of his best performances. Barkhad Abdi, a newcomer, also deserves a nomination from the Academy for his role as Muse, a Somali pirate.
