William Schwartz HanCinema Very little even really happens. Despite several passengers getting named parts I can barely remember anything about any of them. Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Whang Yee Ling The Straits Times (Singapore) Based on a true incident, this is an efficiently told saga of in-flight terror that sticks the landing. Rated: 3/5 Aug 21, 2024 Full Review James Marsh South China Morning Post First-time director Kim ... packs this taught, lean thriller with life-threatening incident and period-specific peccadillos to amuse and appal his audience in between the breathless thrills and political grandstanding. Rated: 4/5 Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Casey Chong Casey's Movie Mania Ha Jung-Soo and Yeo Jin-Goo elevate this otherwise familiar but tense plane-hijacking thriller. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 31, 2024 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Hijack 1971 delivers everything that viewers can expect from a high-octane, well-acted thriller about a plane being hijacked in the air. The fact that this movie is based on a true story makes it more interesting. Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Ken Always good to have a well-acted movie based on a true story. I never once was bored as the movie had good pacing. Subtitles were just fine for me. I wished I wouldve caught Escape, but this movie was a great substitute for me! Really enjoyed it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/18/24 Full Review gahyun Movie is perfect but half of the movie didn't had subtitles. I was ok to watch but my husband needed subtitles. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/16/24 Full Review Ab Unique story, good suspense, emotional. And some crazy flying skills. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/11/24 Full Review acsdoug D It's based on a true story but don't research it beforehand, go in cold. You'll appreciate the suspense elements of this flick that much more. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/05/24 Full Review Audience Member It felt like it was not just a emotional historical film, but a film about the meaning of being human, just like The Terminal. Really emotional. I thought that S.Koreans are able to make very good movies with exciting true stories. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/24 Full Review Jeremy W Unmissable for sheer entertainment value, topped off by superb storytelling and acting. This is the summer blockbuster Hollywood wishes it had made (but would get wrong if it had) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
