**Review: Hijack 1971**
“Hijack 1971” is a Korean movie that attempts to blend high-stakes drama with action-packed sequences. While the premise of a hijacked commercial flight is intriguing, the execution leaves much to be desired in terms of realism.
One of the most glaring issues is the portrayal of the commercial airplane. The film makes it move with the agility of an F-16 fighter jet, which is highly unrealistic for a commercial aircraft. This exaggeration detracts from the believability of the scenes and makes it hard to stay immersed in the story.
The hijacker’s actions are another point of contention. Despite the high tension, not a single person on the plane is harmed, which seems improbable given the circumstances. The pilot, who is portrayed as almost immortal, survives severe injuries and even manages to shield others from a bomb by using his own body. This level of resilience is far-fetched and undermines the gravity of the situation.
Additionally, the plane breaking in the middle and the crew covering the hole with heavy luggage is another unrealistic element. The bomb, which looks like a juice tin can, further adds to the implausibility of the plot.
Overall, while “Hijack 1971” has moments of excitement, the unrealistic elements make it difficult to take the movie seriously. It might be enjoyable for those who can overlook these flaws, but for viewers seeking a more grounded and believable story, it falls short.
