Majorly thought provoking!!

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2013)

Set in the year 2009, which is not too long back, Captain Phillips starts off with the journey of a man and his disgruntled crew. It very quickly takes a turn when a bunch of pirates board the ship and fear mixed with commotion breaks loose.
Made in a slightly documented style, the film revolves around pirates from Somalia opening up a whole new outlook at why a native Somalian would turn against mankind in such a brutal fashion. The pirates are portrayed with emotions and a history proving that they are indeed human.
Tom Hanks leaves the audience spellbound with his amazing acting. Hanks, who portrays Captain Richard Phillips is captivating with his brilliance in acting. The composure he maintains and the PTS he suffers right at the end makes the entire ordeal so much more enjoyable!!
Bottomline - A serious movie with some spectacular acting.
