Movie Reivew "Captain Phillips

This movie is based on the recounting of the 2009 Somalian hijacking of the American cargo ship Maersk Alabama. The film play closely follows a book written by the ship’s captain, Richard Phillips. Tom Hanks convincingly plays- and accurately duplicates the accent- of the Massachusetts native Captain Phillips. This would have been more accurately titled “A Story of Two Captains.” The bulk of the story involves the complicated relationship and rivalry of Phillips and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (played by Somalian ex-patriotic Barkhad Abdi). The story is filled with suspense and moves at an acceptable pace. Tom Hanks acting is wonderful, as is Barkhad Abdi. Except for a few mild profanities, it could have almost earned a G rating
