Watched Captain Philips last night, personally I would rate it 4/5 stars.
Suspenseful, amazing job (again) by Hanks, and a fantastic ending that provides a respectable argument that Hanks just might be the best actor ever.
Downside: 2:16 was about 15 minutes too long. Just my opinion, the loooong chase scenes was a struggle to stay interested.
Besides Hanks, the acting by others was so-so. (with exception to the Somalian four...definitely made it realistic)
Why do I say overated? It was made out to be the movie of the year, it wasn't. It was good, and I recommend it highly. But it wasn't great.
The last 10 minutes however was incredible and a challenge for a tough guy to keep his eyes dry.
 
Haven't seen it but don't intend to either. Kinda reminds me "Titanic" with how ya know what happens at the end so what's the point? :)
