About
You’ll likely enjoy Hijack 1971 if you want an edge-of-your-seat plane crisis thriller with escalating pressure and strong emotional stakes; Not for you if you dislike slow-build suspense or if fake-looking CGI bugs you, especially compared with The Killer or Emergency Declaration.
Pros: tight thriller tension; claustrophobic setting; based on real events | Cons: slow start; plane CGI criticized; some character reactions criticized
