This starkly commanding hostage thriller eschews the usual action heroics, replacing them with an underlying, nauseating sense of dread. When a Danish cargo vessel is overrun by Somali pirates, its fate falls in the hands of an arrogant company VIP. Here, in a modernist Copenhagen office suite, the film becomes something truly special and dark: Pray you never need your boss to step up like this; horror is less on the high seas than hunkered down in the boardroom. D: Tobias Lindholm, Denmark, subtitled, 2012, 103m
