In the film the audience is taken on the journey of Captain Richard Phillips(played by none other than Tom Hanks) as he embarks on what he thinks is going to be another one of his sea voyages.As he is at Sea his boat is taken over by a team of Somali pirates (Barkhad Abdi as Abduwali Muse, Faisal Ahed as Najee, Barkhad Abdirahman as Bilal, and Mahat M. Ali as Elmi) in search of money. The team of pirates hold the entire staff aboard the boat hostage, but Captain Phillips sacrifices himself to keep the lives of his staff safe. The pirates oblige to Captain Phillips offer of just taking him instead of the entire staff and the pirates take him into a bunker boat and hold him captive...
The audience demographic for this film is young-grown adults do to its language,and use of violence.
Personally i think this story turned into a movie was executed perfectly from the actors, to moral of the story. I think that casting Tom Hanks was an extremely smart move because well everyone is a sucker for a Tom Hanks movie so it was going to earn a lot of profit. Through the whole movie everyone around me and myself were all engaged in the movie the whole time because of the thrilling and gruesome visuals.However the only thing i didn't like about "Captain Philips" is how much of a cliche it is when compared to other movies in it's genre of 'heroic action' typical plot of; hero is good, hero faces hardship,hero lives in the end.
Overall "captain phillips' is a great movie and id recommend seeing it.
rating:4/5 stars
