...Lindholm ratchets up the tension and a steadily colder, more disturbing tone, with rigorous realism and spare, austere style.

Google trodde jag skulle gilla den här filmen. Det trodde de rätt i. Riktigt bra! Danskarna visar än en gång att de är världsbäst på att skapa drama med sån äkthet att det stundtals känns som man ser en dokumentär.

Den mareridtsagtige intensitet er ikke helt den samme som i 'R', men til gengæld får Lindholm fortalt en større, mere kompleks historie, der fikserer os i spændingsfeltet, hvor nord og syd støder tragisk sammen.

"A Hijacking" is a tense, gripping thriller that follows the high-stakes negotiations between a Danish shipping company and Somali pirates who have taken a cargo ship and its crew hostage. As the weeks-long standoff unfolds, the company's CEO, Peter Ludvigsen (Søren Malling), finds himself in a race against time to save the lives of his employees, while also navigating the complex and dangerous world of piracy. With the help of an experienced hostage negotiator (Gary Skjoldmose Porter), Ludvigsen must walk a fine line between negotiating a fair deal and caving in to the pirates' demands. Meanwhile, on board the ship, the crew members, including cook Mikkel Hartmann (Pilou Asbæk) and engineer Jan Sørensen (Roland Møller), are forced to endure the harsh realities of life as hostages. As tensions escalate and the situation becomes increasingly dire, the fate of everyone involved hangs precariously in the balance.
