hijack : Idris Elba is a negotiator
Idris Elba is capable of anything. Able to switch between crime and entrepreneurship in The cable. Able to open a portal between two worlds in Thor. Able to track down London’s most nefarious assassins Luther. Able to give the answer to Nicolas Cage And Christophe Lambert in Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Able to control gigantic robots Pacific Rim. Able to face a lion with bare hands Beast. Able to take on Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson with bare hands Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw.
In addition to having all these abilities, Idris Elba is now able to keep calm trying to reason with the terrorists who have taken control of the plane had to bring it back from Dubai to the English capital in hijack. Pirates led by a certain Stuart (Neil Maskell) who act for enigmatic reasons that the hero Sam Nelson will try to discover by alerting the authorities and regaining control of the flight with the help of the other passengers. All without being noticed and taking advantage of his skills as a negotiator, used to resolving conflicting and tense situations for large groups.
A suspense without downtime
Huge as it was, the actor’s charisma didn’t seem enough to fill the seven episodes of the series created by Jim Field Smith and George Kay, co-creators of intern AND Criminal, as the plot can be summarized in two lines. However, the series has the merit ofinstall tension from the first minutes of the first episode.
Rather than taking the time to introduce the characters and let the mystery hang over the identity of the terrorists, the writers fast-forward and precisely take advantage of the danger to reveal the true nature of the various passengers. Some want to rebel right away, while others think only of their own survival. And in this crisis, Sam Nelson tries to avert a catastrophe while he implements his plan to thwart that of the pirates.
Furthermore being able to invest all the corners of the plane with permanent twists and turns always revealed at the right time, hijack spice up the pace by focusing on the characters on the ground, who are trying to find out if Flight KA29 really was hijacked or if it was a false alarm. A mobilization that also guarantees constant efficiency, allows the development of interesting supporting characters while revealing fascinating elements on the functioning of the airspace, perfectly justifying the fact of extending a fundamental starting point over an entire season. In any case, the first three episodes bode well for a breathless success held until the end.
