Review For Movie A Hijacking
This isn't an action picture; it's a picture about the suspense and terror of inaction.Tom Long-Detroit News
Gripping and tightly focused.
J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
Lindholm rations the meat and potatoes of plot to keep us captive at the bargaining table. It's a sadistic ploy that produces a real payoff.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
A 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.
Tirdad Derakhshani-Philadelphia Inquirer
Lindholm justifies his confidence in a visual approach that's refreshingly realistic.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
To refuse to call A Hijacking a thriller is not to say it isn't thrilling, in a dryly cerebral way.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
... has an embedded feel without being a real-life report or documentary at all. It's a fictional film that hits both with blunt force and a surprising amount of complexity.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
A Hijacking is more about one incident than about how it relates universally, but in thoughtfully exploring the specifics and emotions of that incident, Lindholm is able to show how modern life sometimes seems devoid of any accord.
Noel Murray-The Dissolve
A lean, stressful nail-biter, smart, well-written, nicely shot and wonderfully performed.
Anders Wright-San Diego Union-Tribune
[Omar and Mikkel are] like Marcus and McTeague in Frank Norris's 1899 novel, handcuffed to each other in a struggle that could well end in mutually assured destruction.
Sarah Boslaugh-PopMatters
Tobias Lindholm's slow-burning thriller makes a bid for verisimilitude that extends well beyond the use of natural light and handheld cameras.
Curtis Woloschuk-Willamette Week
Though the acting in "A Hijacking" is superb, the film is strictly a "follow-the-dots" offering. This is not entertainment. It is another overwhelmingly depressing foray into corporate greed.
Jeanne Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan
"A Hijacking", if eligible, is an early contender for Best Foreign film at the 2014 Academy Awards.
David Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan
It's an effective piece of work that will leave you longing for a shower, a nap, and a warm meal.
Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com
It's a radical departure from any thriller in stateside theaters.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
A nail-biter of the highest order, A Hijacking is astonishingly emotional, gritty, and terrifying -- a genuine directorial achievement that should not be missed.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
When the gut-wrenching conclusion of A Hijacking comes in the form of a single, random act, it's only then you realize how far you've been pulled into its emotional core.
Steve Davis-Austin Chronicle
A Hijacking delivers all the thrills the title suggests, but in none of the places you'd expect them.
Jeremy Mathews-Paste Magazine
The 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.
Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman
