A powerful, gripping movie. I was literally on the edge of my seat pretty much throughout the entire film. Tom Hanks was outstanding as Captain Phillips. This is a film that shows us both points of view and really made me think about it, for days after. I loved this movie and will be returning to see it again!
Good story.
Watched it again. Enjoyed this movie.
Great movie and Oscar worthy performance from Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks is amazing in this movie, I would say an Oscar worthy performance! Action and drama will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout this whole movie!!!
Though much was shot in studio you will believe you are afloat with the Captain and the crew.Hanks gives a captivating captive performance to a captive audience. A must see for all ship lovers.
This has to be one of the years best movies. It was completely and totally entrainting from the beginning to the very end. Tom Hanks did a treffic job but I think the supporting cast brought it all together.
Tom Hanks is supported quite nicely by the unknown 'actors' who attended open casting calls to win the roles. The film helped answer questions I had when I first heard about the piracy incidents in the news. Very, very well done. Had me engaged throughout even though I knew the outcome. Go see it!
very good.
Captain Phillips keeps you on the edge of your seet through all the movie. I even went to see it on wednesday baby day and I was into the story all the way. Tom Hanks does it again as he delivers a performance out of the ordinary, especially at the end of the movie where he makes all emmotions come crashing into you.
