On Monday night, I got to see A Hijacking, an intense Danish thriller about Somali pirates taking over a boat*. The film follows two strands – what happens to the crew on the boat and what happens at the shipping company back in Denmark where they’re trying to negotiate for their release. Three of the main characters are familiar faces from Borgen – Kaspar, Torbin and Amir (although you aren’t really thinking of that more than you would when recognising any good actor from something else; Soren Malling in particular was really good as Peter). It is a pretty good film that grows in power.

(*This was a plotline on Borgen, wasn’t it?)
