I expected a little more from this movie. I had seen Captain Phillips a while ago and was pleasantly surprised. A very exciting and compelling film, too bad I can't say the same for this film. The pace of this film was much slower.

The cast certainly wasn't bad, although I had seen most of them in Danish series before.

Well, I've watched it, but I don't need to see it again, I didn't think it was that special.

Above all, a psychological thriller drama that focuses on what goes on under the skull of the chef and the CEO during a hijack that seems to have no end. Sober, methodical and tactful, although Lindholm doesn't get all the wrinkles ironed out. That with the wedding ring is indeed a clumsy piece of writing. The direct effect is then gone, the after-effects, in view of Peter, still persist. The quiet moment of a bruised Mikkel with his family says it all. That smiley is a nice detail. So absurd that I immediately believe it.

This film will logically be easy next to the Hollywood production Captain Phillips (2013). This Danish film came into circulation a year earlier. It was a time when it was "in" to board and hostage cargo ships as a Somali pirate.

Fascinating film with a fine cast of Asbaek and Malling, two faces you often encounter in other Danish films. Much attention is paid to the negotiations, although there are almost no skirmishes. It all turned out to be a little too good looking. High-quality film with a pleasant pace without looking for sensation. It doesn't help the tension.

Well and soberly portrayed. The ending is dramatic and incredibly stupid. Sometimes it's in a small corner. It is strange that there was hardly any presence of the media, navy and the like. As if the company had to bear it all alone. An enjoyable film nonetheless.
