Captain Philips (2013)
Directed by Paul
Greengrass this film based on real events stars Tom Hanks and Barkhad
Adbi. A container ship travelling past Somalia is attacked by
pirates.
It seems this film
does a fairly good job of presenting events truthfully and realistic
manner. The story does have some vague allusions to the wider
situation but never really becomes more than a recreation of events.
Numerous award nominations were showered on this film and while it is
really well made inevitably some of the tension falls flat because
you know the outcome of the film going in.
3/5
