Review of Hijack

Hijack (2023)
6/10
Watchable, just.
29 July 2023
This feels like an afternoon show that would be aired over successive days on the BBC or similar. Had I known each episode was going to be released weekly I wouldn't have started it. It has kept me reasonably entertained though.

Idris Elba plays a corporate negotiator who uses his skills to talk down the hijacker's. I haven't seen much in the way of decent negotiating (there's still one episode left to watch) or even outfoxing his foe to much extent.

The scenes onboard the plane are more entertaining than the scenes that take place on the ground. Politicians and police running round like headless chickens feels like filler for each episode.

Most British viewers will recognise a lot of the cast. They have been in numerous things before without ever really being a star (Idris excepted).

Not the best but certainly not the worst.
