Captain Phillips (Movie, 2013)

While there is some controversy about the real Merchant Mariner, Captain Richard Phillips, there is no doubt that Tom Hanks' characterization of Phillips in this biopic is absolutely masterful. It's about the hijacking of the Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates; the heroic actions by Captain Phillips; and the precision rescue by U. S. Navy personnel. 

The movie starts off a little slow. The story unfolds gradually in the last two hours. A little dragging!
