Filmmakers use animation and raw footage to explore the mind of Mohamed, a wealthy Somali pirate while at sea but just another struggling man while on land.

Relentlessly brooding and engaging, it is certainly worth seeing.

Although a little messy in places, it's a fascinating look at world we would have little access to.

B+

Easily one of the best documentaries of 2014, "Last Hijack" explores the motivations, circumstances, fears and dreams of a real-life pirate in an admirably objective fashion, while also visualizing his thoughts via gorgeous, lucid-dream-like animation.

LAST HIJACK isn't an especially entertaining film, but it's a troubling one and worth seeing even if only for the insight into this phenomenon that it provides.

2/27/15 Netflix. At first the combination of animation and reality was a little difficult but as it went on it actually became a pretty cool way to tell the story. Always interesting to see how other cultures live, think act and survive.
