Review of Captain Phillips (2013) by Georgian S — 24 Apr 2015

I can see why Captain Phillips won several Oscars in 2013. It tells the true story of a Captain Phillips whose ship Maesrk Alabama was hijacked by Somali Pirates. Philips(Hank) warns the crew, of the impending hijack.

They successfully prevent them, however on the 2nd run, they climb aboard the ship. Captain Phillips himself is put into the Lifeboat, as the plans weren't set out as thought. Very well performed.

I actually felt Captain Phillips emotions, me heart racing etc., etc., Well played and acted out. Classic quote aswell: "Look at me, "(Somali Pirate), "sure"(Hanks), "Look at me, I'm the Captain Now"(Somali Pirate).

I always repeat this.
