It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star delivers sterling work in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the commander of an commercial transport hijacked by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by another actor ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, based on true stories.
