"Hijack" Review

 

by John Zenoni


‘Hijack’ is an intense, nail-biting drama on Apple TV+ and is one of the best series I have seen on that fairly new platform, in comparison to how long the other streaming sites have been around. Once again, Idris Elba is excellent, as always, and he delivers a knockout performance!

Elba plays a corporate negotiator who gets on Flight KA29, which is on a seven-hour journey from Dubai to London. When the plane is hijacked, he tries to use his professional skills to save everyone on board. While you might go into this series thinking it's a plane hijacked for ransom or a political or religious cause, hang in there, as the latter part reveals a completely unexpected twist. Needless to say, the intensity and suspense only grows, as things begin to be revealed and the passengers become increasingly alarmed, scared and ready to do anything to stay alive. In addition to Elba, all of the other cast members do a great job as well. This is one worth watching!
