Captain Phillips is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the U.S. container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is - through director Paul Greengrass's distinctive lens - simultaneously a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. The film focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (two time Academy Award (R)-winner Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control. The film is directed by Academy Award (R) nominee Paul Greengrass, from a screenplay by Billy Ray based upon the book, A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea, by Richard Phillips with Stephan Talty. The film is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, and Michael De Luca.(c) SonyIf You Like this movie you can streaming Captain Phillips movie without downloading HERE

We're in the steady hands of Paul Greengrass, a director fully aware that convincing crisis stories involve conflicting interests and passions.Chris Vognar-Dallas Morning News
The entire performance is one of the greatest in Hanks' prolific, varied career - a role that gives him a massive arc and the opportunity to show great range.
Christy Lemire-ChristyLemire.com
Whether or not you find it an inadvertent parable of the political moment (I do), Captain Phillips is a terrific film.
Christopher Orr-The Atlantic
It's the work of Tom Hanks that makes this film unforgettable.
Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
This is acting of the highest order in a movie that raises the bar on what a true-life action thriller can do.
Peter Travers-Rolling Stone
It's some of the most powerful acting Hanks has ever done.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
Captain Phillips repeatedly underlines the Navy's brilliance, and also the contest between Rich and Muse, their exchanged looks in a tight, hot space suggesting they might share a burden. But they can't.
Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
Over and over in this movie we hear variations on the phrase "everything's going to be OK." It's just impossible to head out of the theater and back into the wider world believing that's actually true.
Wesley Morris-Grantland
What Hanks does is give Phillips a thoroughly human portrayal, convincing us how an ordinary man does extraordinary things in the face of death.
Bruce Kirkland-Jam! Movies
It spends as much time on true-to-life protocols as thrills and spills. And it's a film in which Tom Hanks sweats unattractively from his man-boobs. Talk about uncompromising
Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk
Familiar territory for Paul Greengrass, Captain Phillips is far more successful in terms of authenticity and tension that it is characterisation or depth.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
In a way it seems like a parody of a [Paul] Greengrass film: His cameras shake and the music swells but the narrative is stuck in neutral for a good hour-plus. It's all herky-jerked up with nowhere to go.
Matt Prigge-Metro
...a fascinating true-life tale...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
The number one thing I took away from Captain Phillips (and Zero Dark Thirty before it) is: Don't. Ever. Mess. With. America. They take that (stuff) personally.
Adam Ross-The Aristocrat
While "Captain Phillips," to its credit, honors the pirates with more back-story, and they evolve as characters ...the end still lands squarely in a Hollywood space.
Thelma Adams-thelmadams.com
Captain Phillips is a prime example of Hollywood's unrivalled ability to rapidly reprocess a story from headline to marquee. And it's a splendidly mounted, nerve-racking thrill ride, building to an almost unbearably tense climax.
Jim Schembri-3AW
I can't see too many people being disappointed with the complete package that is Captain Phillips.
Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
Awards-worthy work by director Paul Greengrass and leading man Tom Hanks.
John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
The experience is more nuanced than you might expect.
Stuart Klawans-The Nation
A dramatic thriller that's also a 'message movie' concerned with the effects of globalisation, this offers fine work from Hanks in serious mode, although the whole thing is stolen from him on a grand scale by Abdi.
David 'Mad Dog' Bradley-Rip It Up
Taut, terrific filmmaking.
Boo Allen-Denton Record Chronicle (TX)
Captain Phillips' aesthetic is vintage Greengrass: cinema of the moment with a festering voyeurism so insular it barely seems to exist beyond the boundaries of the frame
Luke Buckmaster-Crikey
A remarkable and harrowing story about modern-day piracy and understated heroism on the high seas.
Tom Glasson-Concrete Playground
From the first shot to the last, you feel that tremendous security you get when you are sure that the filmmaker is in total control of his material.
CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
Director Paul Greengrass mixes gritty realism with some stirring military ops for an edge of the seat piracy thriller
