A Hijacking

A great Danish film about a cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates. A procedural that follows the crew onboard and the company negotiating to get their crew and ship back. It's quite detached in the depiction of events and feels almost like a fly on the wall documentary.

There are a few jumps in time that seemed quite shocking, especially the way they reveal the actual hijacking, but they really make you feel the crew's pain and it is almost exhausting. It certainly feels like a longer film that it actually was.

I don't think I've ever seen a modern pirate film although there appears to be a few coming out now, this being the first of them. Very engaging, tense but enjoyable.
