Upon running out of gas, the pirates abandoned the ship with only one prisoner, Captain Richard Phillips. The crew members hid from the pirates as they captured Captain Phillips and the ship. Onboard at the time were twenty crew members and their captain, Richard Phillips. On April 8, 2009, four pirates made international news when they attacked an American cargo ship, the Maersk Alabama.

#Captin phillips how to
And we asked him for a little tip on how to end this segment of the show the Boston way.īURR: If I really want to sell it: This is NPR News. MONTAGNE: Burr is a native of Brookline, not quite Boston but a stone's throw. KEVIN COSTNER: (as Kenny O'Donnell) If we're going to have a chance at a political solution we need international pressure.īURR: Trying so hard to do the accent, and that's the problem. HOLLY HUNTER: (as Renata Bella) (Unintelligible).īURR: And Kevin Costner in "Thirteen Days."
ROB MORROW: (as Dick Goodwin) That little box in your living room is plugged into something crooked. INSKEEP: Ty Burr says Laura Linney also does a good job in "Mystic River," though there are differing opinions on that.īURR: My personal Hall of Shame would have to include Rob Morrow in "Quiz Show." As many as you've got, I've got four more. ROBERT MITCHUM: (as Eddie Coyle) Count as many as you want. (SOUNDBITE OF MOVIE, "THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE") You only hear it in certain words and it feels lived in. MONTAGNE: OK, so what is Ty Burr's favorite Boston accent in a movie?īURR: Robert Mitchum in "The Friends of Eddie Coyle," and he doesn't wear it heavily. JULIANNE MOORE: (as Nancy Donovan) You know, you're not from here anymore. I think of Julianne Moore in "30 Rock." Remember that? So many great actors have come to grief on this accent. TY BURR: It's one of those accents you have to live.
#Captin phillips movie
INSKEEP: So we called up the Boston Globe's movie critic Ty Burr who says Boston accents are hard. We were wondering what makes a good Boston accent. You may have picked out a Boston accent from the character played by Tom Hanks. Kenneth Turan reviews movies for MORNING EDITION and for the Los Angeles Times. That clash of cultures adds another level of tension to an already disturbing film. And the Somali replies: Maybe in America. The exasperated captain says to one of them: There's got to be something other than being a fisherman or kidnapping people. It gives us a sense of why these impoverished men under the thumb of dangerous warlords do what they do. "Captain Phillips" also spends time with the pirates. The anxiety is so great that I found myself looking at my watch because I wasn't sure how much more of it I could stand. As good as Hanks has been in the past, there are moments - especially when he breaks down emotionally when it's all over - that are unlike anything we've seen from him before.ĭirector Paul Greengrass is best known for bringing a sense of propulsive reality to both "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum," and he's at his best here. TURAN: Tom Hanks is in his element here as the above-average average man who displays a kind of everyday heroism as he struggles to protect his crew. That results in an intricate game of cat and mouse between captors and captives, which begins when the pirate leader asserts his authority. TURAN: Because the pirates are armed and the ship is not, the four outlaws are soon in control. We have been boarded by four armed pirates. Four pirates coming towards us down the main deck. HANKS: (as Captain Phillips) Four pirates on board. TURAN: Two small skiffs are suspiciously on his tail. TOM HANKS: (as Captain Phillips) I don't like the look of that. KENNETH TURAN, BYLINE: The cargo ship Alabama is headed down the east coast of Africa when Captain Richard Phillips, played by Tom Hanks, sees something no captain in these waters wants to see. The tension between the pirates and the American captain, Richard Phillips, is the basis for a new film in theaters this weekend, and critic Kenneth Turan has our review.
Back in 2009, you may recall, Somali pirates boarded the cargo ship Alabama.
