First we had to find the parking for the cinema which turned out to be a lot easier than anticipated and then it was a short walk into the booking area. The seats were comfortable and we will certainly be visiting again.

Enough of the cinema, what about the film? When it was described as an edge of the seat film they were so right. Who would have thought that a story about a captain of a container vessel being taken over by Somali pirates could be so gripping. I looked across at Jane at one point towards the final climax and she was literally on the edge of her seat and a hand across her face anxious about the forthcoming outcome. Tom Hanks was brilliant and he portrayed the emotions of every moment brilliantly.

This was high drama on the high seas and we thoroughly recommend it - 5 stars!
