Review of Hijack

Hijack (2023)
7/10
If you can let a lot slide it sort of works.

Highly agreeable and engaging thriller that alternates between claustrophobia and the wider political landscape.

Elba is supremely charismatic as the disenfranchised yet motivated heroic figure though it isn't always obvious why he doesn't just sit tight and let the whole thing happen. It all becomes justified in the end though by coincidence.

The peanuts gallery of types are there from the troubled vicar to the total karen.

There's a lot of moving parts involved and I will admit that often you just have roll with it and just accept what you're being told. The plot could not work without great incompetence from individuals who are supposed to be professionals.

A lot of toxic personalities abound and not just from the villains but this was more than adequate as tense mid-week entertainment that both my father and I enjoyed though not without a little mockery.
