Indie Focus: Writer-director Tobias Lindholm's thriller used real-life elements, including a shipping company security specialist playing a negotiator and a ship that was hijacked years before, and made the tense situation feel real for the cast.
Shifting between modern offices in Copenhagen and a run-down cargo ship in the Indian Ocean, the new thriller "A Hijacking" focuses on the negotiations that ensue when Somali pirates overtake the vessel. Writer-director Tobias Lindholm ignites a pressure-cooker drama by lacing the story with details drawn from real life and subjecting the cast to some of the unpleasant ones.
