Review For A Hijacking

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

It's the second feature from the young writer-director Tobias Lindholm, and it showcases his gift for tightly focused stories told without an ounce of fat.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe

Lindholm doesn't present the film as a procedural for hostage negotiations because he knows too well that there are too many movable parts, too many things that can go wrong.
Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor

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

A smart movie derived out of the small moments that collectively comprise the hostage experience, rather than grandiose gestures.
Robert Levin-amNewYork

Lindholm's you-are-there docudrama works as a tense thriller, but themes of negotiation and the ability to empathize provide a rich subtext.
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews

...slow, mostly talk, but tense and realistic...
Tony Medley-Tolucan Times
