The real captain philips' crew has denounced this movie as pure nonsense, as the real philips was both arrogant and fooling as HE insisted to sail near the somalian coast despite warnings. He never tried to save his crew like the movie depicts.
In this movie however, he is some bleeding heart hero who spends his time bonding with pirates who are more akin to bumbling fools , holding no ressemblance to the real deal. In fact, the movie is designed to make you feel bad ... for them!
The real deal however, was a different story - when this happened pirates tried to bring 54 hostages from around the world as human shields. They had no respect for human life and would have gladly murdered everyone on board AND the 54 filipinos & thais citizens (which are never seen in the movie) if it wasn't for the action of Mr Perry who was the true hero (he single handedly strongarmed the leader).
... but I guess Perry didn't sell his life story for millions like Philips did.
As for the movie itself, it's the usual hollyweird propaganda - 'terrorists are just misunderstood and kinda funny in a weird way', 'all authority is bad', etc.
Terrible, abject and sadly well recieved by gullible audience.
