Review of Captain Phillips (2013) by Richard Corliss for TIME Magazine — 09 Oct 2013
Hanks has a wonderful scene, late in the film, that shows a strong man collapsing into frailty. It hints at the emotional depth the movie might have plundered. The rest of Captain Phillips must rely for its drive on the relentless mechanical agitation of Henry Jackman’s score.
It can’t save an overly muscled docudrama that is more pounding that truly gripping.
