I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Captivating movie !
best movie i've ever seen.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the U.S.-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years. Captain Phillips is an edge of your seat Drama, Thriller with Tom Hanks once again giving an excellent perfomance as he is mostly known for but also the same goes for Barkhad Abdi as one of the Somali pirates plus despite his shaky cam and all that Greengrass has proved time and time again that he is a terrific director and once again he proves it with this movie as well. Definitely a film that you should check out. (10/10)
Very realistic film based on a real-life drama. Excitement and suspense from beginning to end. The music is super effective and Tom Hanks is exceptionally good as Captain Phillips. One of the most effective movies I've seen in a while.
I am sure many will dislike me for rating this movie 1 star. I wish there is a minus; if there is, I would have given minus rating. I love Tom Hanks, I have enjoyed his movies for many years. The problem here is not the actors; they did a great job. The problem here is not the story line, I read the story line and I enjoy this kind of movie (especially when it's based on true story) but I have to say that a story is only as good as how it is shot when it comes to movie-making. I don't know how to make movies; I don't know how to handle a camera; but I don't think the person shooting this movie knows how to handle a camera, either. Movies are designed to be watched by human eyes; this movie is extremely shaky and my eyes can't seem to handle it. I stopped at minute 51 and I have no intention to continue watching this movie despite the fact that I love the story line. I don't have any intention of getting a vertigo after watching this or eye problem. People like us who do a day job sitting in front of a computer screen wish to have something enjoyable when we reach home to enjoy our evening watching a good movie. The way this movie was shot is worsening my eyes & head after long day staring at screen. I just wished the people in charge of the camera and effects did their job the way it is supposed to be. Thank you!
Captain Phillips is based on true events, and not something I would normally watch. Tom Hanks always seems to deliver, and his performance in this is not only gripping but makes you believe in the character he is portraying. The film leaves you on edge throughout and Hanks leads the film throughout, with great support from others. The pirates in particular show great technique and skill in trying to make you believe what it would have been line to be in this situation.Only downfall in the plot, was you knew what was coming and it seemed to take some time to get there, but nothing else that you can really critique here.
