A friend in LA (actor/teacher Sally Kirkland) who was in my class with Lee Strasberg many years ago asked "Should I see Captain Phillips ?" Well I will say the same thing to her that i will say to you : "it will have you on the seat of the pants throughout. Barkhad Abdi, 

the Somali lead actor's performance is breathtaking and nomination deserving. Hanks reminds us of what we almost forgot. He is a superb actor when given a role and a script and and a director that challenges him. He more than rise to the task. Director Greengrass has always managed to foreground human conflict against a background of geo-political storytelling. He makes Captain Phillips a larger than life hero who would be willing to sacrifice his life by getting into a life boat with the hijackers and leaving his crew safe and alone on the ship. The only sour note appears very near the end. Another glorification of the Navy Seals, our government's Al-Qaeda targeted killers- for-hire . At SUNDANCE 2013 TWO important documentaries told very different stories about the Navy Seals. DIRTY WARS

reveals the truth behind the Navy Seal media spin that was most recently seen in the HBO documentary MANHUNT about  the CIA/women agents/seals ossama 

And now there is the "controversy" ablaze about the accuracy of the portrayal of Tom Hanks character. Captain Phillips is a NARRATIVE film not a documentary. Narrative films can make their own reality and Greengrass does in this does in this his narrative “docudrama.” Captain Phillips is storytelling at the highest popular culture level. Beautifully written and crafted,expertly paced, edited and acted. Now the hungry money vultures -like litigants are circling in a swarm over this critically acclaimed storytelling yelling 'Fire in the house of truth". Read how  Greengrass  appropriately answers the anonymously posted attacks on his creative integrity.
