Review of Captain Phillips (2013) by Joe Morgenstern for Wall Street Journal — 09 Oct 2013
The film succeeds on its own terms — an exciting entertainment that makes us feel good about the outcome, and about the reach of American power, rather than its limits. Yet the narrative container is far from full.
There isn't enough incident or complexity to sustain the entire length of this elaborately produced star vehicle.
