Captain Phillips/Zero Dark Thirty [Blu-ray] [2 Discs]

Both movies were powerful, thought- provoking, heartfelt, and emotional. Tom Hanks' portrayal of Captain Phillips was one of bis best performances and the ending brought tears to my eyes. To spend 10 years looking to find and dispose of Osama BIn Laden, a dangerous monster in my opinion, is mind-blowing, a good movie with long lasting results.

Captain Phillips is good but not great. It's long and slow. But it does contain one of Tom Hanks's best performances. The man should've won an Oscar but wasn't even nominated. Go figure, right? Watch it for his incredible acting alone. Zero Dark Thirty is a great thriller that doesn't let up. I loved James Gandolfini in this. He was excellent as the lead's frustrated superior. He added some humor that I wasn't expecting at all. Overall, a good double feature that's worth the price of admission.

This was a good deal for both these movies. It doesn't have much in the way of extras, but the movies are complete. DON'T STREAM!! If you love the movie, get a DVD/Blu-Ray!! Don't give the industry the power to take the movie away by removing it from their servers!! I want a hard copy in my hand!! Support 3D!! If I see it in 3D, I WANT TO BUY IT IN 3D!!!! Don't let the studio withhold from us!!

I think that "Captain Phillips" and "Zero Dark Thirty" were both the greatest historical films of all-time and they were also both of my favorite historical films of all-time. I also think that both "Captain Phillips" and "Zero Dark Thirty" had a lot of entertaining and enjoyable action, mystery and suspense and really great and amazing casts and personal/political storylines as well.

Captain Phillips is a great film about the true story of Somalian pirates stealing a ship and the famous rescue of its crew members. Zero dark thirty is also an amazing film about the most famous manhunt in human history...looking for Waldo isn't as easy as the US government thought

Caution, SPOILER ALERT follows... I can't believe the bad guys didn't just knock off the crew one by one. It would have made their job so much easier. But as ruthless as they appeared to be, I guess they really did respect life and were only concerned about bringing the booty back home to the terrorizing gang boss so that they could keep putting food on the table for their families. It made no sense that the robbers would allow their own boat to go stray when they jumped onto the freighter. Why would they assume they'd be able to drive that huge ship back home with the booty?! It's also hard to believe the US mustered up that kind of rescue at the end. I wonder if Maersk had to reach into its own coffers to secure that kind of serious support. It's a sad story and really not at all credible which makes me wonder how close to "non-fiction" it really is. But we know who survived the incident, the bad guys were fantastic actors, and it certainly was an entertaining story.

Zero Darh Thirty is a better movie out of both. If you can get the collection for $7 then it's the perfect grab from Bestbuy, The Blu-ray picture quality is pretty good.

Wouldn't normally purchase either of these movies separately, but combined, and for a low price? You have my attention then. No frills case, with just the two movie discs inside, and no digital versions of them included.
