Hijack stories is set in Soweto, South Africa. A young man, is auditioning for a role as a gangster. He is told to that he is not good enough for the role and should go find out what it is really like to be a 'gangsta', after that he could try audition again. After he gets involved with a gang he finds himself commiting real crimes to get accepted, the gangs leader. This movie is a must see and just shows how easy it is to get hook on crime in South Africa. Special features on the dvd are not so good as it shows only trailers. Similar movie to this is 'Tsotsi'. I would highly recommend adding this movie to your collection. Excellent story, Great DvD.
