Loved this movie. Tom Hanks is fantastic, and the Somali pirate captain is also very good. You should see it.

It looks good. I wonder if Hanks will get another Best Actor nomination.

It seems that a few bullets work better than water canons, barbed wire, and bullhorns. Whouda thunk?

We don't know the truth, but I found this from the article to be an interesting reason why some of the crew, who filed lawsuits, might just have it in for Phillips:Originally Posted by glockmail
After the hijacking, 11 crew members have sued Maersk Line and the Waterman Steamship Corp. for almost $50 million, alleging “willful, wanton and conscious disregard for their safety.” Phillips is a witness for the defense.

No we don't know the truth, but the evidence points to Phillips being exactly what these several crew members are saying. Phillips has every incentive to lie, they do not.

Actually, the crew have $50 million reasons to lie...

Granted, so both sides have a reason to lie.

Personally. I could care less whether the story is true, or false. I enjoyed the movie, and remembered meeting Navy Seals while I was still on active duty who MAGICALLY APPEARED on our ship one night during some classified operations.
Of course. Being a Navy veteran makes me see things much differently than most civilians.
So. I will leave it at that. Captain Phillips, and Tom Hanks were a pleasure to watch.
I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
So, this is for them.
GOD BLESS AMERICA - IN GOD WE TRUST !
