Tom Hanks... I dont remember a time where Ive gone for a movie of his with huge expectation and came back dissapointed, and this movie here is no exception. Captain Philips, is a based on the real life story of Captain Richard Philips who was captured by the Somalian pirates in the waters of Somalia. The story is based on the book written by Richard himself, "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALS, and Dangerous Days at Sea". Tom Hanks did a wonderful job being the captain, although there were allegation from some crew members that Philips wasnt that much of a Hero as its shown in the film. But thats whole another story.
The movie is well paced, plenty of suspense and that anxiety factor playing in, the crew and Hanks were brilliant. But what deserves more appreciation here are those who played the Somalian pirates, especially Barkhad Abdi who played the lead of the 4 member pirate crew. He was a chauffeur in the States and had no dream of becoming an actor, but the talent that he showed portraying the charater Muse (pirate lead) was just exemplary. The other supporting actors who played the other pirates were good too. Stand up applause for that. All in all, this is a really good movies. Highly recommended :)
