The piracy off the coast of Somalia wouldnt have develloped in the first place, if reckless foreign powers hadn't taken advantage of the Somali government breaking down, leaving the coasts unguarded. Illegal fishing trawlers from Europe and Asia fished the waters empty and dumped toxic waste while they were at it, robbing the local fishermen of their means to sustain themselves. In their desperation, they boarded the foreign ships ( who had no right to be there anyway ) when they were suddenly offered money if they gave back the captured vessels. So, basically, the whole situation was created by the capitalistic greed of our democratic countries.

I've always liked Hanks, from "Big" to "Saving Private Ryan" & a few others, he's an excellent actor who gets right into his parts. NOT seen this one, but will "get around to it"

The only reason they exist in those waters is because those waters have been emptied by foreign nations.. They resorted to piracy initially out of necessity, not out of greed.

@@Litheon11 They opted for what they, in their moral vacuum, thought was easy. Had they put their collective intelligence together, they could have done something profitable that did far less harm to others.

@@patmcbride9853 ignorant answer. dangerous answer. humans in desperate conditions will violate norms and laws, thats a reality. A man will steal a loaf of a bread to feed his children, as it were. Equally, those seeking to maximize their own power and influence will take advantage of that desperation. That is also the reality of our species. Without desperate conditions, the results do not exist. With desperate conditions, they will. Moral grandstanding against a tooth in the cog of a complex and corrupt machine is about as useful and helpful as blaming a siezed engine for its lack of oil. Don't be so morally simplistic; it only benefits those who will exploit your ignorance.

8:18 I saw this in the theater with my father opening day, his father my grandfather was a sailor in WWII and there was a SEAL from the 80’s in the theater and when they said “stop the tow” I believe on pure instinct he said “execute” he didn’t yell it just said it as loud as he might have in the same situation. He said he hadn’t seen it already (in a nose bag so I asked after the movie haha) and I’m inclined to believe him being opening day. It was rad. I’m in my 40’s and still get goosebumps.
