WOW! Even though you know the outcome, this movie had me biting my cuticles! Very, very good.
This was the best movie that I have saw this year. Tom Hanks did a extremely excellent job on the lead role and the supporting cast really came thru. They made this into a edge of the seat movie.
EXCELLENT!
Just an awesome performance by Tom Hanks and cast, very,very suspenseful. My fingerprints are still in the arms of the chair which I was sitting. The best movie I have scene all year!
You could argue that I started to express interest in this movie after I first watched the SOUTH PARK episode "Fatbeard". That wasn't the only reason! Though, I wasn't aware of the whole situation with the Somali pirates until I first watched that episode back in February 2013, I discovered the movie and the true story behind sometime after. Plus, Tom Hanks is back in the game! The flaws I had with the movie were the pirates attempting to hijack the ship twice (as some people like me were wondering "why are they turning around and when will they come back?"), taking a long time to kidnap the captain, and having a hard time understanding their language. Regardless, CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is an edge
very engrossing and unbiased in depiction of both sides
The most intense, riveting, and thrilling film I have seen in a long time; coupled with another fantastic performance by Tom Hanks. The director and star of this film allow you to not only witness post traumatic stress on screen, but also experience it for yourself.
It was a very realistic movie and also interesting. I would go see it again. Very good acting and a modern day pirate movie.
Excellent movie, great story keeps your interest great acting
This movie was awesome! So powerful. Tom Hank's was amazing and even brought me to tears.
