re: "Captain Phillips" is the most intense movie I've seen since _______?

Where was the poor acting? I thought it was awesome all the way through.

But I agree with the op. I just got kutc about 30 min ago and am still tense. Movie was extremely gripping. I kept going through potential scenarios in my head of what the pirates were thinking, what Phillips' next move should be, etc...

Tom Hanks was brilliant.
