So far, it's the best movie that I've seen this year. Tom Hanks really acted well, and the pirates were really bad. It's a perfect movie of the year.
Interesting and entertaining: it gives a glimpse of the duties and responsibilities of a captain.
Tom Hanks of course was great. He should get an Academy Award.
Such a thriller that keeps you on your seat from the beginning to the end.
Tom Hanks did a terrfic job in the lead role with lots of very excellent support from the rest of the cast. The movie held you in your seat with a very excellent ending that makes you realize how good life is and how dangerous it can be in some parts of the world.
I would rate this at 3.5 stars if I could. Good but not great. The director keeps the tension building right up to the end. I also thought the final scenes of the movie, focused on Hank's portrayal of Phillips, were highly realistic, and really ended the movie on an exceptional note.
Awesome movie! Loved it
