You might need a little Captain Dramamine to watch this. It is Paul Greengrass after all.

Captain Phillips

Plot Summary: From IMDb: “The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.”

Rating: None
Commentary: Poster was a placeholder at the time this post was written. 		Rating: B
Commentary: Spending an hour and a half with Tom Hanks trying to save peoples’ lives isn’t necessarily the most exciting ideas. Hanks isn’t really an action star. However, Greengrass has an interesting approach to filmmaking that could make the film a bit more compelling.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: With Paul Greengrass and Tom Hanks involved, you can’t count it out. However, other than a nomination for Tom Hanks as Best Actor and perhaps a nomination or two in the creative and tech categories, I don’t see this one doing too well with the Academy.
