Although slow paced, an entertaining, informative and well put together production

This type of docufilm is not my cup of tea as I'm more into the action/tension type films, but I still found it entertaining, informative and a well put together production with great casting, directing, writing and cinematography. Although the pace was too slow for me, still a great watch and thus a 8/10 from me.

Good subject and good movie

Biographies and movies based on true events will always draw my attention especially when the theme has an interesting story or is about a person that accomplished something not everybody else would or could do. In this case it's about the first Westener that showed any interest in Somalia and their problems, and that had balls big enough to risk his life almost daily. Evan Peters did a good job playing this character, one of his better roles. Good job from Barkhad Abdi also. The bigger names in this movie barely appeared in the story so not much to write about them. Interesting story with some good acting.

An informative gem

What a pleasant surprise as I had no expectation of this film being as good as it is. Good storyline based on fact, well cast and good acting. Thoroughly recommend this one.

very interesting movie !!

The movie was very interesting, it is good to see "Captain Philips" first, but even without it you can see it again. It is a very good movie with very beautiful locations and excellent interpretations, mainly by Barkhad Abdi and Evan Peters. The fact that it is based on a book makes it even more attractive. I highly recommend it.

Great!

This was one of the most entertaining movies I've seen all year. A compelling retelling of a great story, with a refreshing approach to movie-making and an awesome cast, and some very memorable characters. Underlying all of that was a credible presentation of some important real life issues, which didn't come across as being overbearing or politically driven.

The bottom line for me is that is was a enjoyable, well made movie about a good story.
