CHICAGO – Tobias Lindholm’s “A Hijacking” is exhausting. It’s what could be called a Dogme thriller, a film that doesn’t use clichéd editing techniques, music cues, or exaggerated dialogue but focuses on a nightmarish situation from a realistic aesthetic. One forgets how American thrillers release their tension through the common techniques of the genre when presented with a film this bleak and dark. It’s an effective piece of work that will leave you longing for a shower, a nap, and a warm meal.
