SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

nkm-93274 Tom Hanks delivers another breathtaking performance, alongside with Barkhad Abdi. Powerful acting, story, music, you name it. It is a heart-pounding thriller that needs to be seen. Once the Oscar nominations came out, Hanks was not on the list. WHAT A SHOCKER!! An overall wonderful film about the true events of Captain Phillips and the four Somali pirates with superb acting and edge of your seat thrill.

merelyaninnuendo Captain PhillipsThe sweat, the blood, the tension and the urgency, everything is projected majestically that it is impossible not to get into it within a few minutes; its an exhilarating experience to encounter this feature especially since its 134 minutes long. Captain Philips hits fast and hard right into the guts of the viewers and the characters offering breathtaking action sequences and compelling counter-attacking arguments that pumps the heartbeat up. Paul Greengrass gets it right again; everything is up to the mark, brilliant execution, perfect editing and gripping screenplay. Tom Hanks is amazing in depicting a real person again; especially his breakdown at the last scene is something to look forward to, and is supported with a great performance by Barkhad Abdi. Captain Phillips is not a normal 'true story' feature, but a tightly packed entertainment that stays true to its nature and tone from head to toe.

ARCo10 It's kinda racist movie. When you talk about people making bad thing you should ask yourself about reasons. Why a gang of human beings choose piracy against any other option? In the background exists a very deep social problem where everyone, European, American, and even us are guilty. If you told just the consequences, like they made here, then you have created another American superheroes movie and have told just a half of the human story. Just a half of the misery. Taking the bad side from the consequences of the poor policies against the humanity who lives in Africa, the land we all were coming from.

jaesqueda We don't know so much about these activities oversea. It was interesting watch story about different point of view. Very interesting "play" with camera, it involves about story. You feel on shoes of every character on screen. It was a good thriller. It's incredible things happened on our world these days.
