I happen to have seen this back to back with Captain Phillips another movie about a Somali hijacking. I have to say Captain Phillips was much better. It definitely felt more engaging and tugged on your emotions more.
A Hijacking fell short a lot I thought. I didn't really feel the tension that much. I also felt like it wasn't as realistic. It seemed like we were missing a lot of things like government intervention.
The Somalis were very convincing in both movies. I hope they used native Somalis and paid them well.
I didn't like the fact that we didn't know what type of vessel the ship was in A Hijacking.
