Acerca deste filme

Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. Based on a true story, the film focuses on the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two-time Academy Award®-winner Tom Hanks, Best Actor, 1993, Philadelphia; Best Actor, 1994, Forrest Gump), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. The two men are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

Absolutely incredible. In a lot of movies, the storyline is very predictable and you can expect what is going to happen next, however, I didn't have that issue with this film. The first 10-20 minutes we're a bit slow, but from then on it's nothing but tension, I had no idea what would happen next! Incredible film, would highly recommend watching!

Just like "Black Hawk Down" this could be a great training video for ISIS on how to make US Military forces impotent. They are so slow to learn. Good movie, looked like a realistic telling of asymmetric warfare.

This is required viewing for fans of Hank's - and he doesn't disappoint. Terrifically real thriller surprisingly unamerican from Greengrass Stella performance's all round.
