The famous “I am the captain now”…only to realize the movie will go to great lengths just showing..how much he is not the captain

High tensions and an incredible true story. Hanks puts in a master class of acting. Abdi was also outstanding. Scary circumstances.

Woah. The movie is just amazing. Only con is that the real events were the opposite, Captain Phillips hid instead of defended his crew
