I kinda got into it emotionally towards the end, but for the most part this is pretty lame. There's no point going for "authenticity" when your script is this transparent in its machinations and lacking in tension. Do you think Lindholm went to the first class of an "Introduction to Economics" course and then went home and wrote the Japanese negotiation scene?

Enjoyable, well produced, but that is all. The farthest I am for its viewing the more I see it as an average movie.

Knife-edge tension from start to finish, equally distributed between contrasting settings of a spartan shipping vessel in the Indian ocean, and corporate HQ in Denmark. Both locations are made to feel claustrophobic and hostile, and both leads are put under constant stress by enemies around them. Fine performances from Asbaek and Malling, equally well cast and up to the job. Only gripe: the months they spent at sea felt like a cakewalk compared to the harrowing emotional trauma of the ending.

While it does hold its own against such titles as 'Captain Philips' there was just something about the ending, that made me feel like some fucking producer had said 'And then this needs to happen - just like we taught you in film school.' I'm getting riled up just writing this. In fact, if you ever see a headline that the National Danish Film School has been burned to the ground, you'll know why I've stopped writing reviews...

Slightly less monotonous than "Captain Phillips", and a little less jittery in the camera department, but very much lacking in interesting characters and events (and therefore, suspense). The hero Mikkel is a tepid working-class everyman and the villain Peter is a stereotype of callous corporate greed. The script drudges along between them saying very little out of the ordinary.

A genuinely chilling thriller juxtaposes the stories of Danish sailors held hostage by Somali pirates and the shipping executives negotiating for their release. Claustrophobic and grinding, A HIJACKING eschews obvious heroism to explore the complex psychology of a hostage situation, full of crushing monotony punctuated by terrifying moments on the precipice of life and death.

Very powerful, very mesmerizing movie. What most thrillers don't understand, but that this one gets perfectly, is that you don't need fast-paced music and shaky cam to elicit fear or suspense. The pacing is slow but not dull; the story is simple but not uninteresting.

This film (as the summary describes it) is not something I would watch intentionally, but seeing a bit of it drew me in instantly. It's truly suspense driven, the cast is good... I recommend it
