Captain Phillips





Cast: Tom Hanks, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman
Director: Paul Greengrass
Genre: Biography, Thriller, Crime


Another lovely movie this month. A true story, very well directed, touches you inner conscious. A must watch!


Pluses:
  • All the credit of this movie goes to Paul Greengrass for the lasting moment even after the movie ends. Beautifully crafted and amazingly spwen dialogues, bringing out various different emotions while being in a moment of a heist
  • Tom Hanks, is the man...movie written after the lead role and what a performance with utter finesse. His bravery, his breaking away moments, his leadership capabilties, his presence of mind...every corner touched indespicably
  • The roles played by Barkhad Abdi and Barkhad Abdirahman are a lot debatable. You cant just look at them with fierce or hatred. They are mere puny in the hands of big guys elsewhere. Been played and hence ferocious for on their own defence. You cant help but have a mixed emotions towards them..how pitiable. And these guys were amazing playing at that, not being an actor themselves
  • Second half was mostly reaping than the first half
  • This movie raises many questions on various International borders. On the plight of the poor and the rich illegal governors!

Lukewarm:

The first half of the movie was more of a build up, less engaging


Minuses:

Nothing notably wrong




My rating: 4/5
