Review of Captain Phillips (2013) by Anthony Lane for New Yorker — 07 Oct 2013
Why, then, do we not feel bullied by the result? Partly because the camera, as I say, tells a subtler tale than the dialogue does, and lures us into a grudging respect for the bravado of Muse and his men; but mainly because of Tom Hanks.
This most likable of actors deliberately presents us with a character who makes no effort to be liked.
