Saw this tonight. Very dope.

It's real suspenseful even though you know how the story ends.

Really liked this, very effective in creating tension, and dread, and an overwhelming sense of empathy for the Somali's, as you know how it's going to go in the end. Despite some shaky acting from the ships crew, and the sequences towards the end drag a bit, I thought this was one of the better movies of the year, not a top 5, but in the end of a top 10. Muse was a great character, the scenes of him 'This coward is the first in the grave', to the pirates in the skiffs going at the boat were among my favorite scenes....Paul Greengrass has a lot more to say then the typical Hollywood/USA action movie, and the shattering nature of the violence and blood at the end is a reflection of that, it left me with a lump in my throat, as it all unfolded in it's tragic trajectory. I was left with a lump in my throat, and I hope most viewers didn't leave cheering the US government and the SEALS, because the movie's message was much stronger then a rescue mission and a victory la.

they shoulda told the real story (the illegal fishing and nuclear waste that led them to defend their waters from racist cac companies) and used actors that people can recognize and who aren't associated with evil (don't care whether they American or African)
:wow:
The breh spoke the truth, my fellow countrymen ain't no pirates but unofficial coastguards. Protecting the nation's waters from illegal fishing and chemical dumping. It makes me feel good to know that some back home made it and built mansions with their hard earned money, protecting the land from demonic forces :wow::wow:

Solid 8.3/10 movie. I was honestly rooting for the pirates towards the end. Except for that one who was a total dikk from the other tribe.

I can kinda understand how Stockholm syndrome can develop now :ehh:
