A Hijacking

Denmark

Outstanding film. A Danish cargo ship is hijacked in the middle of the Indian Ocean. We follow the months-long negotiations to free the ship and crew...from the perspective of the managers back in Denmark and the sailors stuck on the ship with the armed pirates.

Many harrowing, tense scenes. The balance between the two stories was well handled. Over time the conditions aboard the ship deteriorated, the men became listless and enervated. Meanwhile in the corporate boardroom the execs suffered their own price for this drama.

The entire thing was intelligently handled...with a takeaway being that all these peoples' lives would be changed from this ordeal.
