9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor provides a mature masterclass in one-man show as a individual battling to endure in the specific sea after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so heaven knows how extremely demanding it must have been for the elderly actor to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks does excellent performance in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the commander of an commercial transport seized by maritime criminals off the specific location. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), delivering a sensational film debut as the raider leader in this filmmaker's suspense film, based on real events.
