It's stressful enough to observe, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The lead actor provides sterling work in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the captain of an American cargo ship commandeered by Somali pirates off the specific location.
