Movie Review Prep

1. The main character's I'd expect to see are Richard (Captain) Phillips, Mike Perry, the four main Somali pirates.
2.    I predict that this movie will be action packed and at sea. Captain Phillips' ship was warned to keep  their ships away from the coast, but when the ship was too close to a port, four Somali pirates boarded the ship. As the pirates made their way around the boat, the ship crew took shelter in different rooms and attempted to get the pirates off of their boat.
       Eventually, the pirates were captured  and sent to be released, but after the boat refused to start, Captain Phillips was taken with the pirates.As Phillips continued to be held hostage, the Navy SEAL and other services attempted to rescue their Captain, as his life was in danger. Eventually, the pirates were killed, and one was sentenced to 30+ years in prison, and Captain Phillips was rescued.
3. This story is important because it shows that the unexpected can happen at any time, and a person needs to be prepared for it. Captain Phillips even reflected how "in that area of the world, any blip on your radar is of concern. I always told my crew it was a matter of when, not if."
4. The pirates tried to take the ship because there was an immense load of cargo boarded on the ship (5,000 metric tons of relief supplies to be exact).
