Captain Phillips - 4K + Blu-ray + Digital [4K UHD]

All of the actors in here,main characters are great….ESPECIALLY TOM HANKS!!! This is a very very good movie! Makes you look at things different.

**SPOILER ALERT**I loved this film and was blown away by Hanks' performance. As others have mentioned, the last 20 or so minutes of this movie contained some of the best acting I have seen in any film.A couple of things I wanted to mention since others (many others!) have given plot summaries and have broken down the many reasons why this is such an excellent film. First, there are a handful of reviewers who claim this movie isn't accurate because some members of the crew have made some allegations in a lawsuit relating to Captain Phillips possible putting the ship in danger in the first place by not heeding piracy warnings and such. That may or may not be true and the real Captain Phillips may or may not have been the nice guy on the ship as portrayed by Hanks. But the people complaining are conveniently not commenting on:1. It is a fact the ship was boarded by pirates.2. It is a fact none of the crew were taken hostage in the life boat3. It is a fact Captain Phillips WAS taken hostage in the life boat4. It is a fact that Captain Phillips was in significant mortal danger5. It is a fact the US Navy and Navy Seals were mobilized and pulled off a very high-risk, dangerous rescueIn other words (and to quote Kevin Bacon in "A Few Good Men") "...these are the facts and they are undisputed."So even if the real Captain Phillips was not quite the same guy in terms of his actions before the pirates boarded the ship (a point made in a lawsuit which by no means makes it true, by the way) there is no denying the human drama which played out in the life boat.Lastly, for all the heat the US military gets, one (of several) take-aways I got from this movie is just how highly trained and just flat-out awesome a force it can be. While I suppose the nay-sayers will also say that none of the rescue happened the way it was portrayed in the film, I haven't heard one single credible source argue that point.This film certainly doesn't need me to defend it but I felt like doing it anyway. Incredible movie, supurbly acted and well worth seeing.

Excellent film and very well directed by Paul Greengrass.Favorite scene was Navy SEAL unit performing expert marksmanship in threat elimination with 50 caliber.Best way not to end up in prison or unalive is to start by not taking things that do not belong to you.Well done Capt. Phillips and U.S. Navy.

I like it because it shows what can happen in a shipping lane as well a good action movie on point . The truth of life what can happen in this world.

Just watched this with my family last night. This is based on a true event and was a captivating story. There are many intense scenes and definitely some violent scenes. I would caution younger or sensitive viewers. There is a little bad language, but nothing too offensive. Tom Hanks did a fantastic job of portraying the captain and all of the actors were excellent.

Skillfully directed by Paul Greengrass and brilliantly acted by Tom Hanks. This is a very good movie. I can't say that it's an excellent film because it's slow in a couple places. I enjoyed it. 4 1/2 Stars and push to 5 Stars.

I admit that one of the reasons why I saw the Captain Phillips movie had to do with the fact that I happened to still be in the navy (stationed in Norfolk Virginia) when the incident surrounding the MV Maerks Alabama occurred, and as with millions of others I heard of the story (that this movie is based on) through the news media. The Captain Phillips movie opens with Captain Richard Phillips himself (Tom Hanks) and his wife Andrea Phillips (Andrea Keener) getting ready for work in Underhill Vermont and leaving around the same time as they discuss various matters surrounding what is going on in their life. The movie also shows the area (Eyl Somalia) where the pirates such as Abduwali Muse (Barkhad Abdi)and Nour Najee (Faysal Ahmed) gathered. The Captain Phillips movie showed that even before MV Maersk Alabama disembarked from the Salalah Port Oman that Captain Phillips himself wanted many of the entrances to the ship closed the night before it went underway at sea. Before the pirates embarked the ship Captain Phillips and his crew initially tried calling U.S. Maritime Emergency but nobody picked up. However, they then called the Martime Trade Operations in Dubai and then got ahold of the U.S. Maritime Emergency line (In Northwood UK) the next day. The movie also has references to USS Bainbridge, USS Halyburton, and men from a Seal Staging base in Virginia that were all necessary to dispatch to deal with what happened. The situation was extremely serious to the point where communications between Admiral Michelle Howard and one of the ship’s commanding officers was orchestrated in a way to carry out a plan that was necessary to help prevent Captain Phillips from reaching the shores of his capturers. A medical professional by the last name of O’Brien was seen treating Captain Phillips during the movie and towards the end the following information is listed; Richard Phillips returned to Vermont on April 17, 2009 and was reunited with his family. Abduwali Muse was convicted of piracy and is currently serving 33 years at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute Indiana.

Great movie
