It is a movie made with a true-life action where not only a riveting drama about quiet heroism but is a man who does extraordinary things in the face of death. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama’s commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips, and the Somali pirate captain, Muse, who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips’ unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control. Many things make to some characters face twisted “Stayin’ Alive” facts and some dialogues will make you angry and hurt your brain so the director Paul Greengrass is unique due the way he employs all the scenes and his method is as expressive as the style of a superb novelist. All the actors transform in a pirate film in something full of intrigue and despair by Captain Phillips. Now is available in Blu-ray Combo pack and DVD with audio and subtitles in English, French and Spanish subtitles. Two thumbs up for this movie that needs to be part of your home collection.
