CAPTAIN PHILLIPS

Movie:  Captain Phillips
Jan's Rating:  A
Time:  2 hours 15 minutes

Jan's Opinion:  I didn't get a chance to see this movie on the big screen so we watched it at home last night and we both enjoyed it very much.  This was probably Tom Hanks' best acting role ever, especially at the end.  As you probably know, this movie was taken from a true story that happened in 2009 about pirates who took over a cargo-carrying ship.  The pirates had guns, the men on the ship did not have guns.  The pirates were given many chances to take money and leave but they wanted "millions" and that wasn't going to happen.  The Navy brought in the Seals and you don't mess around with those guys.  The head pirate is serving 33 years in a prison in Terra Haute, Indiana, the others were all killed.  The movie kept you on the edge of your seat a few times.  If you haven't seen it, give it a try, I think you'll like it.
