Intensely broad and well acted. "Captain Phillips" is a an old-fashion Hollywood style thriller.

Tom Hanks plays in his best role in years as Richard Philips, a merchant marine captain who's boat is taken hostage by Somali pirates, and who's bravery helped save many lives. Barkhad Abdi does an unbelievable role as the pirate leader, considering he has never acted before in his life. The film stays very close to the actual events that ended in a classic nail biting showdown.
