A HIJACKING

The cargo ship “MV Rozen” is heading for harbor when it is boarded and captured by pirates in the Indian Ocean.

This relentlessly tense Danish thriller strips the genre of its conventions and stereotypes and instead offers a riveting, unembellished account of an episode of piracy. A Hijacking’s strength lies in how attuned it is to its characters’ psyche, putting their feelings at the core of the story.
