A well made and enjoyable film based on an intriguing true story. Peters shines, but Abdi deserves credit too; interesting that he played a pirate in Captain Phillips, the story of which is referred to in this film.

That, was actually pretty good.
Certainly a well done adaptation of an interesting book.
Extra kudos for having (almost?) the entire Somali cast consist of ACTUAL Somalis, most of them refugees.
