Crumbs, I’ll be honest. I will rarely say that I hate a film. This, however, is one of the few exceptions. Whilst I acknowledge that a lot of people will like this film, it is in my opinion incredibly long and almost drags in several sections. Whilst what ‘the Pirates’ are not to sympathised with, the film’s portrayal of an entire group of individuals in a dire situation is questionable at best. Additionally, I respect the need for dramatisation, but there is little attention to fact, even going as far to heroic portraying an individual who put his crew in such jeopardy. Whilst many will enjoy it, Captain Phillips is not a film for those who will do not enjoy long sections of little relevance, shaky representation and high possibilities of sea sickness. But who knows, you may enjoy it more than I did.
