abduction
Captain Phillips has a prima facie reminiscent of the beginning of this year, here I throw a Danish film about the kidnapping kidnapping of a Danish cargo ship off the coast of Somalia. However, the films are very different from each other, the only interesting double account together. When the Danish film focuses primarily on the long and exhausting negotiations between the pirates and the shipping company Captain Phillips focuses on solving by the US Army. However, both films show very good to see the enthusiasm and dynamism on board the ship, so the kidnappers and crew and approaching the kidnappers themselves. Despite the action and spectacle Greengrass also show more psychological pressure especially experienced captain (Tom Hanks).

Tom Hank
Filmography Tom Hanks has reached an impressive length for decades. But Captain Phillips is one of his best roles ever. Already in the first scene knows Hanks through small gestures and a few words to show what a man is and what it means. Feel the body, which is on the ship, without big words used and the commitment of the crew becomes completely thrown back on himself. Especially the last 20 minutes of the film Hanks reveals the hand of his performance, which is rarely seen in front of him.

Captain Phillips, director Greengrass film again delivered strong with clearly visible as the famous documentary mode. It is also told stories and fine structure specially designed by Tom Hanks as Captain Phillips printing. In combination with a piece of land in the Somali pirates, it becomes clear that there are enough nuances to find a happy story.
