Captain Phillips (2013)

Very disappointed :(

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Regardless of how closely it sticks to the real-life events upon which it is based, 'Captain Phillips (2013)' focuses on the claustrophobia and uncertainty that comes about when a ship's captain has his boat commandeered by modern-day pirates, placing most of its emphasis on the tension caused by the ever-shifting relationship between the boat's constantly scared crew and their unpredictably dangerous captors. While Greengrass' signature 'shaky' style fits the source-material and lends a realist feel, it does occasionally become quite over-bearing. The generally slow pace and lack of real character development - both of which ultimately prevent full audience engagement - also reduce the feature's overall impact. It generally knows what it is, however, right up until its explosive and, frankly, gut-wrenching finale. It focuses on doing its thing as well as it can throughout and, in the end, it's this that allows it to work as well as it does. 6/10

Really Tom Hanks did it again he's magnificent act did everything omg! Heart beats are totally hight, one of the best action thriller I've seen in my life, it's a pure masterpiece

Captain PhillipsThe sweat, the blood, the tension and the urgency, everything is projected majestically that it is impossible not to get into it within a few minutes; its an exhilarating experience to encounter this feature especially since its 134 minutes long. Captain Philips hits fast and hard right into the guts of the viewers and the characters offering breathtaking action sequences and compelling counter-attacking arguments that pumps the heartbeat up. Paul Greengrass gets it right again; everything is up to the mark, brilliant execution, perfect editing and gripping screenplay. Tom Hanks is amazing in depicting a real person again; especially his breakdown at the last scene is something to look forward to, and is supported with a great performance by Barkhad Abdi. Captain Phillips is not a normal 'true story' feature, but a tightly packed entertainment that stays true to its nature and tone from head to toe.

When I started watching this movie, I was of the opinion that, another tom Hanks movie with some decent story-line and same old brilliance in acting. While on my way of watching this movie, I found the screenplay to be too gripping. The story was based on a true event which has been adapted from a novel based on the same incident. The dramatization of the event in such a way that it becomes more conveying and believable. Tom Hanks as always is a masterpiece..you just can't expect anything less than that from him. The way the screenplay has been executed is really good and makes it more watchable.
