It's an unshowy, quietly intense drama with grace notes in every scene -- and a hellish punch.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture

A high-seas hostage-taking and resulting negotiations are absorbingly dramatized in this low-key Venice standout from Denmark's hottest new writer-director.
Neil Young, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
A nail-biter of a thriller that eschews conventional thrills, Tobias Lindholm's verite-like tale of a Danish cargo ship hijacked by Somali pirates is rivetingly low-key.
Geoff Pevere, Globe and Mail
Fresh
A finely spun tale that eschews sensationalism to focus on the human toll on the captives, their families and their employers back home.
Bruce Demara, Toronto Star
Fresh
This isn't an action picture; it's a picture about the suspense and terror of inaction.
Tom Long, Detroit News
