Captain Phillips

Awesome movie about Somali pirates highly recommended made me wanna sell all my belongings and move to Somalia to become a pirate..::: The way the pirate says “ Am the captin now “

Fun fact: the actors playing the pirates were actually from Somalia, chosen regardless of acting experience. I think this proves that it does not take some amazing actor decades to put on an awesome performance.

Watched it 3 times in a week, great movie

It’s sad, entertaining, and happy, it’s a sad movie but very good

One of my favorite movies.

This is such a good movie the way they film it u feel like ur there the acting is incredible I was hooked from beginning to end I love this movie soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomuch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!u ligit have to watch this movie

Really well done movie, I was just on the edge of my seat the entire time -- literally right up until the last minute. That said, I can't imagine how Captain Phillips IRL could have gone through that ordeal then basically gone right back to work! That's crazy, plus I agree with one of the other reviewers that it's complete BS that a crew that travels dangerous water can't even arm themselves -- that's wrong. If those men had a few rifles none of those pirates would have ever gotten on the ship to start with!!

Everything about this movie is amazing!

No way else to put it

The cinematic angles, the edits, the long shots , the quality of writing, the spot on acting, and the superb direction all add up to a spell binding thriller . Along with being true, it was cast marvelously, the scene on the beach of the somalis catches with brutal sharpness the hellish circumstances these people live in and gives not a sympathetic view but one that certainly shows how on the edge of survival is this band of robbers. Overall a movie high in production value that places a premium on presenting the story without overdone or overromanced anything. It would be easy to inflate anyones contribution but one is left feeling just the right amount of empathy for all, and a feeling that the seals REALLY know how to handle things when things go south. Fabulous moviemaking, thanks Greengrass you really know how to make em
