The lead actor provides a experienced brilliant acting in one-man show as a individual fighting to survive in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a impact with an stray transport unit. It's anxious enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to record.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star provides sterling work in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure characters, as the captain of an American cargo ship seized by Somali pirates off the specific location. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), providing a outstanding film debut as the raider leader in the director's suspense film, based on real events. When the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
