9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The main star provides a mature masterclass in single character portrayal as a person struggling to stay alive in the specific sea after his yacht, the fictional ship, is damaged in a collision with an errant shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The lead actor delivers excellent performance in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the commander of an American cargo ship seized by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by another actor ("I control this vessel"), providing a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's suspense film, derived from true stories. Should the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
