Movie Review - Captain Phillips...

Movie: Captain Phillips (English)
Directed: Paul Greengrass
Produced: Michael De Luca/Dana Brunetti/Scott Rudin
Story: Billy Ray
Based on: True Story of a Pirate Attack
Music: Henry Jackman
Cast: Tom Hanks/Barkhad Abdi/Max Martini

          Captain Phillips - Based on true incidents in Captain Richard Phillips' life, happened in 2009 in the Indian Ocean; this movie of length more than two hours has nothing great to offer except drama. But for the performance of Tom Hanks in the closing minutes after rescue, audience are left with no real clue. Somalia Pirates, a group of four, hijack a ship and take the Captain as a hostage in a lifeboat; are confronted by US Navy SEALs and are taken down. Copy that!!! Neither the conditions of fishermen turned pirates nor the struggle of captain turned hostage are better depicted. Even the dialog between the two leads during the journey for survival is pale. With this captain, you better do not sail.
