Personal Ratings: 2.5
Honestly, there was nothing much about this movie that struck, very much, to me as unique or entertaining. It was mostly as I expected, maybe a little lower. 
Though, the most interesting part for me would be how the ships operates, and how the navy take cares of situations like this. Since I have no idea, and have never seem much (in movies or animation), about proper operations in big ships. I honestly thought that there would be more men on board such a huge ship. I liked the part about how they try to lose the pirates that were just about to board the cargo ship.

I thought that Philips in the show would be a lot more.... (efficient..?) Like I thought there is always meaning behind his actions, but from the show, there were quite a lot of actions in which he had done that didn't seem to be helping him escape (were quite redundant if I must say). I thought that he would slowly gain a little of their trust, and talk them out a little. The last part was also a bit of a question mark. Was he actually sad for the three people that were killed? or was he so happy that he got out of the situation? I also didn't like how the camera shakes a lot. I don't really get why they have to shake the camera so much. Even though I know it's to show how intense the scene is, but honestly, with that much shaking, I cannot actually tell what was going on in those scenes.
