7500

There are some movies that are probably not best when viewed in certain locations. Example: Jaws is one you probably don’t want to watch on your weekend trip to the beach. Another example: Psycho probably not the best decision if your on a trip solo staying in a hotel room by yourself and you plan to take a a shower. 7500 is probably not the right choice for your inflight entertainment, if your not familiar with the title 7500 is the squawk code pilots enter to signal a hi-jacking. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a pilot who’s airliner has just been hi-jacked and his wife is also a flight attendant, separating them a near impenetrable cockpit door. While a movie about an airplane being hi-jacked is nothing new this one stirs up the pot by placing the entire movie inside the cockpit as events unfold from beginning to end pretty much in real time. It’s hard to talk about a movie when its as straight forward as this, yes there are some bumps in the middle, but I don’t want to give away spoilers for you. Joseph Gordon-Levitt is charismatic enough to keep you entertained and often times on the edge of your seat waiting to see how events will unfold. I think the self contained nature of this movie is what makes this a good fit for its debut on Amazon Prime, at right around an hour and a half if doesn’t feel stretched out as it easily could have been and makes for a little thrilling evening of entertainment if your looking for something where you do not have to get invested too much into character or plot, you could easily walk up pop some popcorn come back and not have missed much or easily fit A and B together.
