Review of Captain Phillips (2013) by Dylan D — 06 Sep 2014
The contrasting worlds, the building pressure, the excitement, the uncertainty, and the culminating catharsis of it all in one of the most powerful and precisely acted end scenes in cinema history all give rise to what is a perfect movie.
Captain Phillips is a masterpiece of the medium, a picture that commands the screen, captivates its audience, and tells a tightly woven tale of real life danger, heroism, and terror. It's expertly directed and incredibly acted.
The film should attract at least a handful of high profile Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Editing, and win several.
