Reviews
USA Today - Hanks deftly captures Phillips' blend of bravery, heroism and abject terror in a wonderfully minimalist performance, one of his best., Philadelphia Inquirer - Captain Phillips is harrowing, inspiring, a must-see piece of moviemaking., Los Angeles Times - Loveable - especially if you're as fond of a pun as we are - and extremely silly., Rolling Stone - This is acting of the highest order in a movie that raises the bar on what a true-life action thriller can do., Little White Lies - A ruthless, ripped-from-the-headlines seafaring thriller with a vintage turn from Tom Hanks., Washington Post - Yet another Greengrass masterpiece. And it reveals why there have been so many: Behind the director's dispassionate, unfailingly rigorous lens lies an enormous, unfailingly compassionate heart., Film4 - With Greengrass an expert navigator of choppy waters and Hanks the assured hand at the wheel, CAPTAIN PHILLIPS is one of the year's most thrilling cinematic voyages.

Additional Information
Two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks teams with Oscar-nominated director Paul Greengrass and screenwriter Billy Ray to tell the true story of Richard Phillips, a U.S. cargo-ship captain who surrendered himself to Somali pirates so that his crew would be freed. Captain Richard Phillips (Hanks) and his crew are carrying freight around the Horn of Africa when four Somali pirates forcefully take over their ship, the MV Maersk Alabama. While Phillips' team follow his orders to hide until they hear him give the safe word, the captain and a few essential crew members remain on the bridge as the heavily armed pirates make their way up to seize control of the ship. But the interlopers soon discover something that sends them into a furious rage: After effectively shutting down the ship, Phillips explains that the Maersk had malfunctioned when the crew pushed it too hard in an attempt to evade the attackers. In order to appease their leader, the ruthless Muse (Barkhad Abdi), Phillips offers them the 30,000 dollars that's been locked in the ship safe. But that isn't enough, and Muse demands that Phillips help him search every corner of the ship to root out the terrified crew. When that plan fails, the pirates agree to take the cash from the safe and flee in the Maersk's lifeboat. At the last minute, however, they kidnap Phillips in the hope of supplementing their take with a sizable ransom -- a decision that leads to a tense standoff with the U.S. Navy, who would sooner see the lifeboat sunk with Phillips inside than allow it to reach Somalia.

Captain Phillips 4K
Not worth the money I paid for it. A very poor picture quality. Having seen other 4K DVD's I think may be this one was a pirate copy.
