9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford delivers a late-career masterclass in single character portrayal as a individual fighting to stay alive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the main setting, is damaged in a collision with an errant shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks does outstanding acting in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the captain of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the geographical area. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), making a sensational initial cinematic appearance as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's thriller, derived from actual incidents. If the last scene doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
