Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great movie with brilliant performances all around and clever directing. Blu Ray is the way to go with this feature as it enchanced the overall beauty of the film.

Did not know this was a true story. Tom Hanks in one of his best roles! Thank you, Navy Seals for keeping Americans safe!

Excellent film based on true events. I would recommend this to any movie lover. Tom Hanks gives one heck of a performance.

Tom Hanks is mazing (as usual) as Captain Phillips whose ships gets hijacked in the middle of the ocean.

Great action movie. Tom hanks is great actor. Would recommend this movie

If you’re a Tom Hanks fan, and if you enjoy real life drama scenarios, this is your boat ride of a lifetime!

I love movies about ships and this one was great. tom hanks does a great job.

Great film. Tom Hanks movies are always well performed and this one just adds to it.

I really underestimated this movie. I was not inclined to rent it, but I'm glad I did. The acting was superb; Hanks definitely gave an Oscar worthy performance, and the pirate captain was very convincing in his mixed emotions as things didn't go as planned. The script was riveting, leaving me at the edge of my seat the entire time. Apparently, some of those who gave the movie only one star due to their perception of a ridiculous premise -- an unarmed crew with the captain shooting flares at the pirates -- don't realize the movie was based on actual events, that this was how the captain tried to defend his ship. I also liked the fact that the piracy of an impoverished nation stemmed largely from the fact that fishing conglomerates had wiped out the fishing industry of Somalia, an important reminder of the damage our industries often impose on the economies of other countries. Would I recommend this movie? Absolutely, a truly worthy movie in terms of thought provoking as well as edge-of-your seat excitement in my opinion.

Very engaging movie. Tom Hanks plays incredible well the role of the captain.

Loved the movie....sat on edge of seat for this emotionally charged saga!

This movie is loosely based off that Somalian pirate business from a few years back. It gets the gist of it right, while of course, exaggerating some events and ditching others. But you're not really watching this for total, documentary accuracy are you? You want to know if it's a enthralling, Tom Hanks at his best, feature worth buying on Blu-ray, yes? Well... It is. It looks great on Blu-ray, and Tom Hanks puts in a great performance (as always). Which is not to sell the other actors short either. Everyone puts in a lot of work, and it shows. This includes director Greengrass, whose previous Bourne films made him the perfect choice for a high-stakes, high-tension thriller like this. As for the quality of the Blu-ray transfer... It's good. The colors are much more vibrant, and everything appears a lot sharper than on the DVD. But that's what you should expect anyway. It comes with the DVD and a digital copy, which are nice bonuses. So if you're a fan of Paul Greengrass or Tom Hanks, definitely give it a look.

My wife and I liked this movie. Tom Hanks was very good as Captain Phillips.

Never saw this movie before and the price was really good only 2.99.
