It's stressful enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks does sterling work in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the captain of an commercial transport hijacked by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a outstanding film debut as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's thriller, derived from true stories. Should the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
