It's over before it's begun. Greengrass hits you over the head with his film, which then won't end. It's like being assaulted. It is all edits, verité camerawork, sound effects and music, and not much in the way of suspense or surprise (or story). (Several scenes would have been more effective without music.) The ending is actually the only good bit.
Several opportunities for Britney Spears jokes though. And why on earth aren't giant cargo ships like these armed??
Tom Hanks was noticeably not nominated by either Academy; Barkhad Abdi was the surpise BAFTA supporting actor winner.
Shot by Barry Aykroyd in the same docu style as Hurt Locker.
