8.5/10
The last act really turned this movie from a good movie to a must-see…sort of reminiscent of what Zero Dark Thirty did last year, although I still liked that movie more on the whole. Captain Phillips is very good though, impressively maintaining its tension as it moves through a variety of set pieces and scenes. Hanks doesn’t really get to take off as an actor until the movie is almost over, but he does more in that brief time than most other actors do in two hours. I was also surprised to learn the Somalians were non-actors, as they were uniformly excellent. Worthy of the hype, for sure.
