WARNING: SPOILERS INVOLVED
Captain Phillips is an awesome true story about a Captain that has his ship overtaken by pirates while on the job. Phillips is captaining a cargo ship off the coast of Somalia when pirates find his boat and hold him hostage in the middle of the ocean. I personally believe this was a great film because it's a real story but its also a bit different than what actually happened (the usual Hollywood effect). once the pirates take over the ship the crew hides so the pirates can't find them and completely over run the boat. The Somali's leader finds the crew but the crew manages to take him hostage. The pirates and the crew then work a deal that if the crew gives back the pirate leader, the pirates will give back Captain Phillips. The pirates got cold feet and took back their leader but still held Phillips hostage. They took him out on a small lifeboat in the middle of the ocean but the US military would come and save the day. The film has a great story line and was produced very well. Tom Hanks did an excellent job playing Phillips and while some of the information was not true, all of the information together created a great movie. The movie made everything seem so real even though it wasn't and that really drew my attention in. It made you feel for the whole crew and most importantly, Captain Phillips. Ultimately, I would rate this movie a 10/10 and I also will give it a GOOD GOOD rating.
