A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

My expectations from this movie were average, but as the movie progressed it turned out much well. The reality clause and the turnout of events complemented each other.Tone, Script & Story: The movie mainly tells the story of Captain Richard Phillips on one of his journeys into the sea, where pirates attack. I would avoid any spoilers. The given information says everything shown in an introduced trailer.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: It did not have much to context with given plot, but whatever was shown was justified. It was good. Music: It was nothing that would grab one's attention. Acting: It was better than average especially Tom Hanks.Final Verdict: I would say it to be another real story filmed well, which is quite entertaining.

Captain Phillips based on a true story is a very edge of your seat thriller. The directing and performances are brilliant, the scenery is different, and the catchy film score suits the movie.Apparently the real Captain Phillips was difficult to get along with, and apparently his crew couldn't stand him due to him apparently putting them in danger and ignoring warnings about the pirates. It's scary that the hijack was real, but the Hollywood depiction is just like every Hollywood movie based on real events - there will always be a lot of falseness added in a depiction to make it look more interesting.If you still haven't seen this film, i must warn you that there is a lot of shouting and screaming.Captain Phillips shows viewers the length that people will go to based on greed.

Tom Hanks is terrific in the title role, playing the real life captain of the Maersk Alabama, a cargo ship that was hijacked off the eastern coast of Africa by Somali pirates in April, 2009. Although the filmmakers changed some elements of the actual story to make Phillips appear more heroic - and less to blame for the incident - there is no doubt that he suffered greatly, physically and psychologically, during the ordeal. For days, Captain Phillips was the sole hostage of four volatile Somalis in an enclosed lifeboat; they hoped to receive millions of dollars in an exchange.Director Paul Greengrass and editor Christopher Rouse (who received an Oscar nomination) did an excellent job of capturing the suffocating heat and cramped spaces of the lifeboat, while Hanks portrays a wide range of emotions, mostly without words. The actor's most powerful scene is the film's last, as Hanks perfectly affects a man in shock, mentally reliving the horror of his captivity while involuntarily sobbing in relief to be freed from it all.Barkhad Abdi plays Muse, who dubbed Phillips "Irish", in an Academy Award nominated Best Supporting Actor performance. Muse struggled to keep his own crewmates under control while resisting the pressure exerted by the United States Navy. The situation was eventually resolved by SEAL Team 6 snipers, whose skills enabled them to simultaneously 'execute' the three remaining hijackers after Muse had been tricked into boarding the U.S.S. Bainbridge (a destroyer) for negotiations.The movie was nominated for Best Motion Picture of the Year, as was its Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Adapted Screenplay writer Billy Ray.

We don't know so much about these activities oversea. It was interesting watch story about different point of view. Very interesting "play" with camera, it involves about story. You feel on shoes of every character on screen. It was a good thriller. It's incredible things happened on our world these days.
