years which were extremely well received by members and guests.

This week's recommendation

A Hijacking

Denmark 2012, 101 mins.

Directed by Tobias Lindholm

The film was the 710th film screened by RFS on 17th September 2013. It was one of the two
equal top ranked films of Season 51 with an approval mark of 97% from those attending.

The cargo ship MV Rozen is heading for harbour when it is hijacked by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. Amongst the men on board are the ships cook Mikkel and the engineer Jan, who along with the rest of the seamen are taken hostage in a cynical game of life and death. With the demand for a ransom of millions of dollars a psychological drama unfolds between the CEO of the shipping company and the Somali pirates.

The film can be streamed from Amazon Prime and Apple TV and the discs are available from Amazon and others.
