About This Movie

So, Alexander (2023) dives into this gripping chapter of Albanian history, following a mechanic who, after getting fired, literally takes matters into his own hands. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as you can almost feel the weight of his desperation. The documentary-drama blend is interesting, allowing for an almost intimate look at his life and the stakes involved. The pacing is deliberate, building up to that audacious hijacking. The practical effects used in recreating the warship scenes add a rawness that feels authentic. Performances are solid, with a strong focus on character development. It’s not just about the act itself—it’s a reflection on freedom and the lengths one might go to achieve it.
