There is a scene when Captain Phillips almost escapes and he doesn't. It IRKED me to no end. For that it gets four stars...sorry. Just was so realistic up till that point. Otherwise amazing. Also in this I dunno why Faysal Ahmed didn't get a nomination over Barkhad Abdi? Faysal played the sexiest pirate since Colin O'Donough on "Once Upon A Time." And he's intense. There is NO bad actor in this movie. Speaking of accolades Tom Hanks did his most vulnerable and best work so he SHOULD'VE been nominated for the Best Actor in a Leading role Oscar. Yes he's won twice before, but he deserved at least the nomination. WOW
