Captain Phillips (2013)

The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the U.S.-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

Warning: Review may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.

JayBell: This movie is so stressful. I almost felt like I was the one being held hostage and kidnapped by gun-wielding pirates. Even knowing how the movie ends, I do think it does a great job building tension throughout.

Tom Hanks is great at playing the likable every-man here. I like that he's smart in this movie, but also very scared and vulnerable too. He doesn't break out the ninja moves, turn into MacGyver, or somehow become a self-rescuing super hero. He's just a resilient guy who tries his best. And aren't we all?

I love the level of understanding that kind of develops between the main pirate and Tom Hanks' character. It isn't quite forgiveness or anything, but the pirates don't feel like crazy super villains. You understand why they make the choices they make, even as you hope they don't make them. It's interesting that they are so young and disorganized and naive in their pirating, yet feel so dangerous and unpredictable at the same time. It's a cool balance to watch.

I was very engaged and invested throughout the whole movie. It's entertaining, scary, well-acted, and emotional (shoutout to the captain's therapy bill in the final scene). I think it delivers on all its promises.

Anzie: I knowwww JayBell said Tom Hanks is always the everyday guy vibe and he looks like everyone’s uncle in this movie, but I have to say I was distracted for the first maybe 15 minutes of this movie bc I swwwear he was giving specifically my one uncle vibes. It was the glasses. The shirt. The whole old man in early/mid 2000s outfit. The watch. The glasses. The GOATEE!! Ok it’s out of my system.

That being said the rest of the movie had me sick. I was so panicked and nervous my nails and cuticles were wrecked for days. I’m feeling a cold sweat come over me now. It’s such an experience. And I have to say I was skeptical- I was like ok Tom Hanks is a captain of a boat that gets taken over by Somali pirates based on a true story - ohhhh I wonder how this goes. But it was good and I was so invested.

That being said- being stuck in that life boat?? Wowzers. And the crew complaining that they want off it’s too dangerous?? You’re in open water carrying cargo??? Even if there weren’t pirates WHIcH HaVe ExiSTedD FoReveRrr - it’s open water??? That’s inherently dangerous and where are you gonna go?? I also would love to complain about the very slow response from any help they called in when they very quickly notice there were pirates trying to hijack them- like what the fluff?

Anywayyyy for a biopicish kinda vibe it was A+. And I’ll never see another boat without thinking “I’m the captain now” like I’m 12 years old again.
