Captain Phillips - Review

As Oscar season is on it's way, quite a few films like "Captain Phillips" await us.  This film is all based on a true story and it is truly remarkable to watch as the intensity and suspense is really incredible throughout this film.  The acting on all parts especially by Tom Hanks is truly amazing and I believe Hanks could be nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.  Also, I believe the Main Pirate could also be nominated as well.  The film also had a great screenplay which could be nominated as well, not to mention also for Best Picture as well.  This film was one of the best films this year though I thought some parts were hard to comprehend when the timing and sequences were hard to follow along with.  I also thought the film failed to describe the rescue operations thoroughly and how they worked as it appeared help magically helped the captain at ease.  I am pretty sure during the real capturing there was a lot more intensity going on and only some of it was portrayed in the film.  I also thought the length of the film was a bit long and could've been shortened a bit.  Other than that, this film was truly great and I do recommend you all go see it.

Rating - 4/5
