Review of Hijack

Hijack (2023)
Starts Well But Quickly Becomes Silly

Warning: Spoilers
Who doesnt like Idris, ever since Stringer Bell, the guy is a legend.

As the show starts, the acting is on the level and the tension starts rising. Unfortunately its quickly apparent none of the characters are interesting or someone you would root for or like. Also people act weird (how long did it take for the girl to spit out bullet or for such a prepared team not to be able to deal with them for5 mins is ridiculous). But the major gripe is with Idris. Its obviously going down the Taken route with Liam Neeson for his character. Thats fine. But it is BEYOND RIDICULOUS that he basically turns the hijackers to be favourable towards him in 5 minutes. Giving the gun back or not, NOBODY in their right mind would listen to him like that because wanting to go home or not, he is obviously playing a game. And people hijacking the plane, criminals NEVER trust anyone, they would never let him stay close. Might take his advice but the way they let him be just ruins the story. Not to mention they come super prepared with months of surveilance and training yet they have NO IDEA about how plane operations work, how autopilot works. Come on...

All in all, good acting, starts interestingly and tense but quickly noticable no likeable characters and the story/characters actions too dumb too often.
