El secuestro de 1993

Stumbling upon the 2024 movie "Hijack '93" and never having heard about it, of course I opted to check it out and see what director Robert Peters had to offer.

Writer Musa Jeffery David put together script that had potential, though I have to say that it ended up turning out somewhat bland and generic. There are far better airplane hijacking movies readily out there. The narrative suffers from being one that is rather devoid of anything thrilling or overly compelling. There is a whole lot of standing around talking and waving a gun around, but that is essentially the majority of the movie. And that just doesn't constitute being an entertaining movie in my book.

Given my very, very limited exposure to the Nigerian cinema, of course I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list. The acting performances in the movie were fair enough, though I can't single out anyone as being more extraordinary than the next.

It was somewhat of a struggle to sit through the movie, as there wasn't a whole lot of anything exciting or interesting happening.

This is definitely not a thriller that I would recommend for you to spend 87 minutes on watching. Some of us sat through this ordeal, so you don't have to; you're quite welcome.

My rating of "Hijack '93" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
