Watch The Pirates of Somalia For Free

Fresh and Exciting

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Excellent but underrated film

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I enjoyed Pirates of Somalia far more than I thought I would. Evan Peters is credible and very watchable. The supporting cast is strong enough to keep you interested in a well-told story. I wasn't as informed about the piracy situation in Somalia. I'd wager that bunches of Westerners aren't, either. However, this film does a great job of laying out the recent Somali history, while also telling a compelling "true" story. I'd recommended Pirates of Somalia, but only to someone who can handle a human drama with some political history, good characters, and touches of humor. This film is not for the blissfully uninformed. You'll learn something. And you'll like it, too.

This film tells the story of a young man who goes to Somalia, hoping to kick start his journalism career.I thought this would be an action thriller, but it turns out to be a comedy drama, which is a pleasant surprise. I like the fact that this film portrays the other side of the story, and preaches people to be tolerant and accepting of others. If we open up our hearts, we can make friends anywhere!

I found this film to be very intriguing. When I started it, I was expecting a documentary type film on pirates in Somalia made famous by the terrific film "Captain Phillips".About 10 minutes in, I realized this was going to be a lot more then an action/Drama film on the exploits of Somalian Pirates. What you get in this way better then average movie is a man who yearns to be a published writer/journalist. He tries his hand at some very uninteresting subject matter and then sees the news reports in the Hijacking of the cargo ship "Maersk Alabama" by Somalie pirates and, after some research, that NO Western journalist has ever truly entered the world of Piracy in that region of Africa.He is Canadian (Evan Peters who plays real life journalist Jay Bahadur) and gets his parents to finance an adventure to a life completely unknown to him in Somalia.Without giving more of the film away, I can say that the true elements of how Piracy got its start in this poor and almost forgotten African nation and more importantly WHY it happens to this day. It gives the viewer a really different perspective on the story of these proud people who have a history of culture and used to settle disputes with poetry, not violence. I enjoyed the way the protagonist explores the realities and history of the Somalie people rather then exploit the violence often used by the very nature of piracy.This is a must see for anyone who is interested in the culture and reasons behind why piracy is a way of life for peoples of this region.A very well done film. Definitely recommend.

Buckley's script and direction frequently get sidetracked with fictional subplots and bizarre animated sequences that feel wildly out of place. It also used a Alex Rios jersey to represent the Blue Jays and this is not cool. Alex is a douche.1/10
