Well told story of a ships crew taken by Somali pirates. It shows not only the emotional toll, it takes on the crew members but also on the company leadership as they try to negotiate the release. The movie begs you to ask , did the company act soon enough. Did they put enough value on human life. This movie was well worth the small price of rental.

The whole movie revolves around the CEO's negotiations skills. Was not the movie I was expecting.
