When rookie journalist Jay Bahadur (Evan Peters) has an inspiring chance encounter with his idol (Al Pacino), he uproots his life and moves to Somalia looking for the story of a lifetime. Hooking up with a local fixer (Barkhad Abdi), he attempts to embed himself with the local Somali pirates, only to find himself quickly in over his head. Based on the true story of one reporter's risk-taking adventure that ultimately brought the world an unprecedented first-person account of the pirates of Somalia. (Eagle Entertainment)

The subject matter is interesting, and even though there are some pretty good actors in it, somehow it just doesn't feel right. It's a bit of a comedy, but it's not funny, just light-hearted. It's not emotionally heated, although it does try to squeeze some emotion out of itself at the end. This feels a bit like splashing around on the shore.
