Excellent movie - realistic and tense, yet not made in the Hollywood style, which might be off-putting for less discerning viewers. Negative comments of "7500" come in the guise of feigned political correctness and personal dislike of paceExcellent movie - realistic and tense, yet not made in the Hollywood style, which might be off-putting for less discerning viewers. Negative comments of "7500" come in the guise of feigned political correctness and personal dislike of pace (ridiculous) or action in that there is too much screaming and banging on the door - I guess the reality would be that one should politely ask that the cockpit door be opened (and not insist at that), and that the infliction of wounds should be accompanied by "I strongly object that you stab me with the glass knife", but only once and in the quieten voice. True connoisseurs of action movies will like "7500".… Expand

This movie was a super intense ride, I've no idea why it's rated so low. The sound in particular really makes you feel like you're in that cockpit.

Not epic, no setpieces, no special effects and pretty predictable... But as a kind of cinematic exeperiment put exclusively into an airplane cockpit it kept me thrilled for its 90 minutes - and that's pretty much what I wanted.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a pilot, whose flight from Berlin to Paris is hijacked. After the initial attack, he's trapped inside the cockpit, while trying to cope with the threat in the cabin. Along with Patrick Vollrath's claustrophobic direction, Gordon-Levitt manages to maintain moderate anxiety with his intense yet controlled performance. The tension isn't always as compelling as it could be and the final few minutes drag down the drama and dilute the film's full effect. Still, it's a frightening scenario effectively realized with Gordon-Levitt's solid performance.… Expand

Tight, no-frills, yet effective nonetheless, "7500" makes for a solid addition to the "confined thriller" sub-genre and is anchored unshakably by some near career-best work from Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Color me stunned, because I've seen a lot of what the man's capable of ("50/50," "(500) Days Of Summer," "Don Jon," etc.) and I'd still say this performance probably cracks the top three for me. However, what stunned me most about the film was writer/director Patrick Vollrath's (in his feature debut) commitment to an uncompromising vision for the world we all inhabit. This is an implacably dark, at times brutal watch, featuring some real choice words on justice, vengeance and the never-ending tug of war between the East and the West. Some may be deterred by its iciness, but I personally found this movie's thematic content to be almost achingly apt. Solid work overall.… Expand

Harrowing depiction of an commercial airline terrorist siege. Well directed, excellent cast and cinematography. Fantastic pacing throughout.

C'est donc de façon surprenante une production allemande qui s'y colle avec le concours du sympathique Américain Joseph Gordon-Levitt dans le rôle du pilote... américain qui vole en Allemagne sur Airbus A319 (pas tout jeune quand même l'A319, non ?). Ce qui m'amène au principal grief de "7500", non pas dû je crois au film lui-même mais à son distributeur Amacon Prime dont l'un des stagiaires a oublié les sous-titres incrustés quand ça jacte l'allemand et/ou l'arabe (ou le turc ?). On est donc obligé d'activer les sous-titres complets qui sous-titrent tout, y compris quand ça parle français !

Evidemment, on pourrait regarder alors tout le machin en "VO" avec les sous-titres complets activés mais la VO me déplaît fortement, j'y suis malheureusement allergique... dès que je regarde un film en VO, j'ai généralement (mais pas toujours, cela dépend) envie de chier. C'est très chiant.

Cela étant, "7500" est un thriller en huis-clos fort bien fait qui se déroule entièrement dans la cabine de pilotage, un parti pris qui omet forcément tout ce qui peut arriver dans l'avion lui-même... Très bien rythmé en tout cas, sans temps mort (mais avec quelques morts...) il est d'une efficacité redoutable et servi par une mise en scène non moins efficace. Il est aussi dans l'ensemble assez réaliste hormis ce petit moment "vous n'aurez pas ma haine" d'un ridicule sans nom, je dois dire... et la fin est quelque peu abrupte, sans "épilogue"...

Quoi qu'il en soit, "7500" reste un film-catastrophe qui vaut le détour... on comprend que le genre de l'avion terrorisé par des barbus (pas barbus ici mais c'est tout comme) puisse mettre mal à l'aise mais ça rappelle avec à-propos que la menace plane toujours, partout, tout le temps, n'importe où...… Expand

This is a really good movie, if it was released 10 years ago it may have been an Oscar winner. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is awesome and the rest of the cast is fantastic as well. Well shot and well done.

"7500" develops anticipation and builds tension from the opening frames, simulating authentic security camera footage of terrorists getting through airport security, and onto a German airline passenger jet headed to Paris. Once aboard the plane, Vollrath uses a real-time linear scene structure (similar to Mendes' "1917") from the viewpoint of the cockpit and the American co-pilot played with understated perfection by Gorden-Levitt. The film takes hold of the viewer and doesn't let go - the entire film plays like a reenactment of actual events (this is fictional). A fantastic 1st film effort by German Screenwriter/Director Patrick Vollrath.… Expand
