Leave your thoughts about A Hijacking.
| The SkinnyPhilip ConcannonWhen the credits roll, you may feel as if you too have been released from captivity. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyWe're impatient for action, any kind of action - but preferably the sort that involves a team of Navy SEALs, maybe led by Dwayne Johnson. Instead, we get something like a merger meeting. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA poignant and powerful drama about the hijacking of a Danish cargo ship and its seven member crew by Somali pirates. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniA Hijacking is one of those perfect films that crop up every few years to prove that with true artistry, even the most exhausted genre can yield something new, rich, and strange. |
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerThis sharp psychological drama should serve as a calling card for the lean-and-mean director Tobias Lindholm. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleMethodical and tense ... has the feel of something based on real-life events ... boils down to an arresting portrait of two men, with different backgrounds and abilities, doing everything they can not to break. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob Thomas"A Hijacking" tells its tale as plainly as its title, without Hollywood action, without true heroes or villains, without the expected emotional button-pushing. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrA Hijacking tells a simple story whose ripples ultimately turn into tidal waves. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlLindholm justifies his confidence in a visual approach that's refreshingly realistic. |
| Austin American-StatesmanMatthew OdamThe danger never reaches the level of chaos, but the subtext and metaphor in the slow-moving humanistic commentary on the motivations and byproducts of capitalism make for an intriguing film. |
