At some point during the movie, I had to put the popcorn down because I was seasick. I think that means I liked the film.
I remember following the news when the Maersk Alabama was attacked by pirates in 2009 but there was so much more to the story depicted in the film than what I remember from the news at the time. (I know there is controversy about the accuracy of aspects of the film but for purposes of today’s blog, I am looking the other way.)
The performances were stellar. Tom Hanks, of course (I am a big fan), played an impressive Captain Phillips. But, the Somali actors from Minneapolis in their first ever performances, stole the show as the desperate pirates.
I highly recommend this film. Have you seen it?
