ThiefHott Too much of everything
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
robmacom-20783 I loved this film, it is so refreshing to see actual Somalian people given the chance to tell their story. I thought the film was fantastic, the drama was peppered with humor which made it more realAll of the leads were fantastic Evan Peters and Barkhad Abdi were the stand outs. I really felt their friendship grow through the film and about 30 minutes in I forgot they were acting as the drama became more real. I loved the Director's use of animation throughout the film.I recommend this film as it is about another point of view and it is linked to the movie Captain Philips.This film explains about the Somalian Culture and the motives behind the Piracy. I learned so much more from this film than from the Tom Hanks vehicle.If I was to sum up its a cracking story of courage, hope and the search for the truth.Loved every minute of it
themizzz Well guyz if u'r interesting in bio movies then watch this movie
kaya-roozemond Very well knit and exciting movie about Somalia, captures the culture and people very efficiently. Great lead character and support as well. Al Pacino's appearance was very adequate as well. The overall story telling style was very entertaining and felt fresh continuously.
Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) This type of docufilm is not my cup of tea as I'm more into the action/tension type films, but I still found it entertaining, informative and a well put together production with great casting, directing, writing and cinematography. Although the pace was too slow for me, still a great watch and thus a 8/10 from me.
