Unconvincing story

Rating: 5/10 (4 February 2014)

The story of how 5 (or 4?) untrained Somalian pirates went aboard a huge ship containing a large crew with nothing but a couple guns and their toy boat.
Surprisingly enough, a big American vessel carrying several tons of goods through knowingly dangerous waters has no means of defence, be it security professionals, guns, safety axes or mere plumbing tools. Captain Phillips also miserably fails his attempts on shooting flares when the pirate boat is too far away, stopping at the second one, for no apparent reason. If you like unconvincing stories, this is truly a must see.
I rated this movie 5 stars because there are a few lines here and there, Hanks did his best with the movie and the ending actually made me feel something. I'd only recommend this movie if you've already seen everything above 5 stars.
