Robert Redford gives a experienced masterclass in one-man show as a person battling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the main setting, is impaired in a crash with an errant transport unit. It's stressful enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to film.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks provides sterling work in part of his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the commander of an US merchant vessel seized by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), making a outstanding first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's thriller, derived from true stories.
