Where did you watch this movie?

'Captain Phillips' is a multi-layered examination of the 2009 hijacking of the US container ship Maersk Alabama by a crew of Somali pirates. It is through director Paul Greengrass's distinctive lens that we experience simultaneously, a pulse-pounding thriller, and a complex portrait of the myriad effects of globalization. This edge-of-the-seat thriller focuses on the relationship between the Alabama's commanding officer, Captain Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), and the Somali pirate captain, Muse (Barkhad Abdi), who takes him hostage. Phillips and Muse are set on an unstoppable collision course when Muse and his crew target Phillips' unarmed ship; in the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somali coast, both men will find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their control.

In the lifeboat scene on the way to the mainland, Capt Phillips sometimes is clean-shaven and sometimes has stubble.

Miscellaneous
The story takes place in April 2009, but when the Navy Seals are arriving at the base in the black SUVs the Virginia state vehicle inspection sticker on the windshield shows the date 5/13.
Trivia:
The script is based on the novel named "A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea" which was written by Captain Richard Phillips himself.

Tom Hanks claimed that the scene of Captain Philips' medical examination was improvised on the spot with real-life Navy Corpsman Danielle Albert.
