Even with the dreamy Idris Elba in it Apple TV's suspense thriller HIJACK is unintentionally hilarious, which begs the question why hasn't there been a funny hijacking movie? Maybe one of the hijackers is scared of flying? OOOH - or it's the flip of all the Die Hard on a Plane idea and the stand-in for John McClane is a bumbling idiot whose heroic efforts are so pathetic the hijackers don't even notice him as he somehow makes things worse?
I mean let's get on this, people!
Meanwhile as much as I love Elba sometimes his gruff British mumbling falls into (hilarious!) SNL parody land.
