Bette Davis are including the murder suspects on board a African vessel in this all-star crime novelist whodunit.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

The lead actor delivers outstanding acting in part of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the commander of an commercial transport hijacked by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa.
