Director Paul Greengrass (director of the last two entries in the "Bourne" series) is known for churning out intense and highly stylized thrillers and "Captain Phillips" is no different. Tom Hanks stars as the title character whose ship is taken over by pirates and delivers one of his best performances in years. The real revelation, however, is Barkhad Abdi who plays the leader of the band of pirates and holds his own with Hanks in the first role of his career. The film is a little light on the character's back story, which makes it difficult to fully connect with them, but you can't help but empathize with their plight all the same. This is an expertly crafted thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. See it.
