02.07.14	Netflix	Solid telling of the whole Somali pirates story I remember from a few years ago. To me the most incredible part was always the sniper shots so I kind of spent the whole movie waiting for that one scene to see how in the hell they pulled that off, but along the way the movie grew on me. I didn't think Tom Hanks was stretching his muscles much - I mean he's always good but he spent most of this movie just sitting there - but now I think he deserves some recognition for just the final scene. His portrayal of shock is unbelievable. I've never been in shock but if I am I'm sure I'll spend the whole time comparing myself to Tom Hanks in this movie. Really amazing stellar scene to cap off an otherwise by the book procedural action thriller thingy... whatever you call a movie like this.
