Robert Redford delivers a experienced masterclass in single character portrayal as a man battling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is damaged in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to record.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks does excellent performance in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the captain of an commercial transport commandeered by Somali pirates off the geographical area. He has great chemistry by another actor ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's thriller, inspired by real events.
