The main star provides a mature exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a individual fighting to survive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is impaired in a impact with an lost transport unit. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The lead actor provides outstanding acting in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the commander of an American cargo ship commandeered by Somali pirates off the specific location. He's matched by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), making a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the raider leader in the director's thriller, derived from actual incidents. Should the concluding moment fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
