Product description

Tom Hanks stars in this Academy Award-nominated drama directed by Paul Greengrass based on the real life hijacking of a US cargo ship by Somali pirates. The Maersk Alabama became the first US cargo ship to be hijacked in 200 years when heavily armed Somalis boarded the vessel on the 8th of April 2009. As commander of the ship, Captain Richard Phillips (Hanks) inevitably found himself at the heart of events. Held hostage by the pirates under the command of Muse (Barkhad Abdi), Phillips attempts to protect both his crew and ship to the best of his ability. However, as the drama plays out and Phillips spends more time in the company of his Somali captors, he gradually comes to realise that they have a story, too. Far from the greedy, heartless thugs of pirate lore, the Somalis may well represent the forces of globalisation as surely as the Maersk Alabama - the underside. With the stakes high, the crisis intensifies and someone will have to pay the price... The film was nominated for Oscars for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Abdi) and won the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor (Abdi).

Tense, addictive entertainment
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 April 2017

This film takes tension to a whole new place. It tells the true story of a ship hijacked by Somalis as it is en route to Mombassa. I researched the story afterwards, and pretty much what happened for real is what happened in the film. I'd read about differences in what the individual characters really did, but you know what, it's a great film, and if it's been modified a bit by Hollywood, then that's another discussion. This is tense, gripping stuff all the way, and so realistic it's like you're actually there. Totally well acted, compulsive viewing.

Bare Bones Operation
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2014

First off it's a great film and a really good story.

I liked how it addresses certain issues about the pressures of the modern world and the basic instinct of survival, and young people finding their barefeet in this world. (checking for glass).

The intensity is good, The Bourne Ultimatum's director is on board, but he doesn't beat about the bush. The things I like in a film are locations, I want to be able to take in the views, landscape and scenery. I felt there was not enough of this, and the camera is hooked on the action - This also hinders the project when you consider how long the middle scene of the film is. Of course the intensity is rightly there, this is a true story afterall, but there was just no background action in play, it was full steam ahead and you do start wishing they'd... (won't spoil it).

So, this film is good and it gets the awards - true stories are enough for most, seeing them adorn the silver screen - ooh, look! That happened in reality. But I just wonder if it could've possibly yanked it's head out of 'Bourne' mode once in a while, a little something on mainland. It ends abruptly too - it's a good ending, but abrupt. Would have liked to have seen a bit more relationship between Philips and Muse, cos I really feel like there was something to follow up there, I mean it's been a few years now. When you think of Castaway and how it gently lands and gives you something to think about, I was expecting more of that - 'Scenery for thought' would be good.

But at least this film does give you something to think about, the pressures of life etc. Just wish it didn't push us off a cliff and leave us dangling! That Somalian character calling him 'Irish', you want to know more about him...

'AN INTENSE AND GRIPPING DRAMA'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2014

'Tom Hanks' remains among todays finest actors with many notable film role's to
his credit down the years including 'Forrest Gump' 'Cast-a-way' 'The Terminal'
and 'Saving Private Ryan' among them.
'Captain Richard Phillips' is in charge of cargo-ship 'The Alabama'
The route they have to travel takes them into the 'Somalia Basin' ships travelling
in those waters are well aware of the threat posed by 'Somalia Pirates'
The 'Alabama' travels alone through the notorious waters soon drawing the attention
of the 'Pirates'
The ship initially out-runs the pursuing hijackers, however they come again...........
this time they board.
The Captain has ordered lock-down, however the Pirates insist on searching the
vessel to locate the crew who have attempted to hide from the intruders.
The Captain does all he can to protect them
The film shifts up a gear when events take a turn when a trade-off leaves the Captain
in a hostage situation.
Things are going to become desperate for the hostage and hijackers alike.
Based on real events--the film is a tense affair, edge of your seat stuff indeed.
An outstanding performance from 'Tom Hanks'
Superb picture and sound quality throughout.
Features include :-
Commentary with director 'Paul Greengrass'
also:- Capturing 'Captain Phillips' - 58 minutes of in-depth behind the scenes featurettes
on the making of the acclaimed film

Another of those films that I saw at the cinema and then immediately went on to Amazon pre-order for the DVD.

We closed the blinds and turned off all lights, one cold dark early evening, to try and create a cinema-like experience and make our 46" television look larger (!) and settled down to watch this fabulous film.

Even though we had already seen it, the tension was still palpable.

Tom Hanks is an actor who can do no wrong; always makes good choices; always puts in an amazing performance beit serious or comedy; and you know that you are in for a treat when you see his films. Probably only a few others who are in this league - Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Matthew McConaughey.

Highly recommended.

Loved the video covering topical issues threatening global logistics and transportation. Tom Hanks is as good as ever plus the supporting cast, including the Somali pirates are believably scary. Watching the extras tells of the directors approach to keeping things real and actually keeping some of the cast apart until filming. This makes for genuine suspense and sympathy for the crew on the nir occupied ship. Are the Pirates a match for the highly trained navy seals and US military might? The tension is well recorded and is efge of the seats stuff.
