In Reply to: 'Captain Phillips': Routine action-drama with a bit of gut wrenching . . . posted by Billy Wonka on October 11, 2013 at 14:37:27:
he was supposed to stay 600 miles away and he was 250 away to save money (on fuel I presume) and put his crew in danger
so the movie has it's critics because Phillips was not portrayed this way
fwiw
