A Hijacking
The cargo ship MV Rozen is heading for harbor when it is hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. Amongst the men on board are the ship’s cook Mikkel (Pilou Asbæk) and the engineer Jan (Roland Møller), who along with the rest of the seamen are taken hostage in a cynical game of life and death. With the demand for a ransom of millions of dollars a psychological drama unfolds between the CEO of the shipping company (Søren Malling) and the pirates.
“A HOSTAGE PROCEDURAL PAR EXCELLENCE, this thriller slowly turns the screws, as days become weeks, and nerves become seriously jangled.” David Fear, Time Out NY
“POWERFUL AND INTENSELY WATCHABLE. A masterful exercise in building tension” – Mark Adams, Screen Daily
