Captain Phillips

Captain Phillips is A fact-based thriller, Captain Phillips is edge-of-your-seat stuff, regardless of how familiar you are with the true story behind Captain Phillips' ordeal with the pirates. Director Paul Greengrass marries his cinema verité-style from UNITED 93 with the audience-pleasing appeal of the BOURNE films to deliver a movie that should please both the crowds and the critics.

It helps that Captain Phillips feels like a role that couldn't possibly have been played by anyone but Hanks. He really embodies the American every-man, and playing Phillips, he's incredibly personable and easy to identify with. Unlike a lot of other directors, Greengrass never succumbs to melodrama. There are no cutaways to Phillips' family back home (his wife, played by Catherine Keener, is only briefly shown) keeping the film confined to what is happening at sea. It's not needed, and despite running a lengthy 130 minutes, Greengrass keeps the film moving at an exceptionally fast pace. Likewise, Hanks' performance as Phillips feels incredibly disciplined and authentic, with Phillips maintaining a mostly stoic demeanour until late in the film.

One of the most intriguing things about Greengrass' approach is the compassion and empathy he shows the Somali pirates. In a more jingoistic film, they would have been cardboard baddies, but Greengrass (and screenwriter Billy Ray) portray them in a three-dimensional way that- while not excusing their crimes- makes you understand their motivations. Greengrass avoids being preachy, but it's a necessary element that would have been absent from many other films. As the head pirate, Barkhad Abdi doesn't play a caricature or a two-dimensional monster, and if anything, knowing the motivations behind his crimes, and seeing his life back in Somalia makes his actions even more chilling, as we know he's got nothing to lose.

At the same time, this does not at all condone their actions. Clearly, Greengrass is portraying them as “bad guys” and not misunderstood victims of circumstance, which is nicely addressed by Phillips himself later in the film. The audience's sympathy is kept squarely with the resourceful and clever Captain, and Hanks's “everyman heroism” is comparable to the types of performances given by actors like Henry Fonda or James Stewart in their prime. Greengrass never goes too over the top by idealizing Phillips (a quick scene depicts him as a tough taskmaster at sea with union troubles), but it's clear that this is a character we're meant to identify with, and root for, which we certainly do.
