Robert Redford provides a mature masterclass in single character portrayal as a man struggling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the main setting, is impaired in a crash with an lost cargo box. It's stressful enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to record.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks does outstanding acting in among his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the captain of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), providing a outstanding film debut as the raider leader in this filmmaker's tense movie, derived from actual incidents. Should the last scene doesn't bring tears, you're not human.
