The central vessel is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's up to the main protagonist to guide his flock through the upturned vessel to safety. a supporting player is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful history of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The main star gives a experienced exemplary performance in one-man show as a person battling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a impact with an lost transport unit. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so heaven knows how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The lead actor delivers sterling work in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the skipper of an American cargo ship seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a outstanding initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in the director's suspense film, based on actual incidents. Should the last scene doesn't bring tears, you're emotionally detached.
