Captain Phillips

'Captain Phillips' opens in Underhill, Vermont, as our titular Captain Richard Phillips prepares to depart for Africa, bemoaning the elevated levels of competition that force him to take ever more dangerous assignments. He is the pragmatic captain of the Maersk Alabama, a freight ship tasked with transporting materials across Somalian waters.

This is a really great film. It is non stop action.

In my opinion this is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. It's a movie that can be classified as an action/thriller without requiring huge fight scenes or special effects to captivate you.

A really good taut action suspense move with excellent acting all round but you should check out the real true story and you'll find there's a lot of license taken. Let's just say it was "based on a true story.

It was an awesome movie. I already seen it two times and i can watch it all the time.

Hollywood is often accused of providing only shallow entertainment and not making enough films about important issues or watering them down. I don't share that point of view.

The film's success is due to several reasons. First, directing himself, showing the sequence of events deft cinematic sweep and clarity screenwriter.

As it says in the title, the word predictable van be used to describe many aspects of this movie: the ending, the good guys VS bad guys etc. After the first 5 mins of the movie, I could guess the ending.

This is a pretty good movie, but if you are looking for a documentary of what really happened move along. There is a whole lot of Hollywood taking liberties with the story.
