How 'Hijack 1971' builds the tension is freaking crazy. It is gradual and follows a step-by-step manual, and it makes sure that each step is impactful enough. I don't think I've watched this quality of action sequences happening in planes in Korean movies. The CGI effect is satisfactory as well. There are some weaknesses, but they are not about technology itself, but how the director uses it is too outdated. Slow motion right after the bomb exploded is just too cliche and even cringy. Also, there are some tear-jerking soap opera moments that hinders the focus of the audience because the director intends to focus not only on action but also on the story of each character. Even so, I get the intention, and I'm glad that 'Hijack 1971' is not about CGI pew-pew. Because of that story, the movie brings more reality and thus tension and thrill in the end.

Korean movie which is about a true story happened back in 1971. The main character, a pilot in the South Korean army, disobeied the order and let a plan fly to North Korea at that time but not shooting it down. He was thus dismissed from the army and he changed his career to fly civil airplanes. During one journey, a young man (his brother has flew to North Korea so he was always discriminated) hijacked the plane and called the pilot to fly north! The whole plot is quite exciting as there were fight scenes and bomb scenes as well. After fighting and fighting, he even covered a bomb and lost his arm! The plane finally turned back and the man was shot to death by passenger. Near the end of the movie the true video represented what a great thing the pilot has done. It is really good to film it to let people know this event.
