It's Aboat a True Story

The riveting thriller Captain Phillips has been a smash hit in box offices. The captivating plot (based on true events) about the kidnapped captain Richard Phillips (played by Tom Hanks) has audiences on the edge of their seats. When the Somali pirates Abdul Muse and Ali Aden Elmi (played by Barkhad Abdi and Faysal Ahmed) take over the Maersk Alabama shipping boat, no one knows quite how the story will play out. Throughout the entire movie the audience roots for captain Phillips, and are absorbed by the movie. Director Paul Greengrass keeps the audiences attention with his unique film style. The fact that this movie was filmed on a real ship makes it even more interesting. This PG-13 movie is best for those who enjoy realistic action and suspense.


I would give this movie 4/5 stars, because although it was extremely entertaining, the development of the characters was very lengthly.

Star rating:
1-plot is uninteresting, not captivating, little development or conflict
2-actors depict parts poorly, plot is uninteresting/doesn't go anywhere
3-good plot, actors portray characters well, conflict is somewhat interesting
4-very entertaining, actors create a realistic character, audiences are captivation
5-Plot is extremely captivating, audience is caught up in the movie, conflict is riveting
