Captain Phillips (2013)

 

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

This movie was pretty good, not bad at all... Tom Hanks was really convincing in this role and Barkhad Abdi (the main bad guy) did a good job. This movie's storyline is not too overly complicated so their acting had to be spot on for it to work... and I think everyone in this movie did that. 

Would you take kids to see this movie? I probably wouldn't.... not only are there guns and a little violence... but the storyline isn't interesting enough to keep the kids' attention.

Is this a good date movie? Yeah... I found myself drawn to and rooting for Tom Hank's character... and it's got some action/fights for the guy.
