This is turning into a movie. Cenk called this days ago and is 100% right. A pirate takeover of a ship, the American crew fights back, kicks the pirates off the boat. They take the captain hostage, float around for days at sea, he tries to escape and is caught again, a few more days floating as the pirates try to send a fleet out to get the lifeboat, the US Navy keeps the pirate fleet away, then a US Navy commando raid frees the captain and kills/captures all the pirates.
Thats big-screen movie all over.
Don Cheadle would make the perfect pirate, and Christian Bale has the rugged good looks (and the woman beatings) for the perfect All-American Navy Seal. Matt Damon has the chops and the everyday genius look to be the FBI lead negotiator. But we need to make the Captain more believable, he can't be some handsome charmer like Bruce Willis.
We need a Capt who is a little unsightly, whose face shows they have been around the block a few times, someone whose looks tell a story of hardship but perserverance. Someone who skirts the line between tough and dreadful. An American with a world story, someone who you could picture throwing back shots in some seedy bar on the Kenyan coast.
May I suggest in his breakout roll, Captain Cenk Tiberius Uygur?
I have seen dreadful ( Mickey Rourke down and out) and Cenk isnt it
