I guess this is pretty close to what really happened, but I find it hard to understand how four men in a small boat can board a huge cargo ship and take it over this easily. Anyway, the movie had some exciting moments, and Tom Hanks' acting was very good. It tried to make us sympathetic toward the pirates, but failed. And although it kept my attention, there weren't a lot of plot developments and it isn't a movie I'll probably ever watch again.
