Summary: It looks like a routine day at work for Tobias, a soft-spoken young American co-pilot on a flight from Berlin to Paris as he runs through the preflight checklist with Michael, the pilot, and chats with Gökce, his flight-attendant girlfriend. But shortly after takeoff, terrorists armed with makeshift knives suddenly storm the cockpit,It looks like a routine day at work for Tobias, a soft-spoken young American co-pilot on a flight from Berlin to Paris as he runs through the preflight checklist with Michael, the pilot, and chats with Gökce, his flight-attendant girlfriend. But shortly after takeoff, terrorists armed with makeshift knives suddenly storm the cockpit, seriously wounding Michael and slashing Tobias’ arm. Temporarily managing to fend off the attackers, a terrified Tobias contacts ground control to plan an emergency landing.

In an era marked by omnipresent terror and universal doom, 7500 sparks fear and soothes anxiety in the same breath. Although the film utilizes violence as its foundation, 7500 promotes the idea that heroes exist everywhere, proving that, even amid turbulent opposition, survival, and endurance are sometimes the bravest acts people can ever accomplish.

It’s a potentially mid-’90s B-movie premise, but director Patrick Vollrath and star Joseph Gordon-Levitt keep it taut, tense and classy. Just a shame it doesn’t stick the landing. Read full review

You wouldn’t exactly call it fun or enjoyable, but it’s a thriller that does what it sets out to do, which is to make you uncomfortable and then wring you dry. And if you’re feeling cooped up being stuck at home, well, the proceedings here could make the smallest apartment feel spacious. Read full review

For its first half, 7500 is briskly effective in a cold-sweat sort of way, carrying its audience from a smooth takeoff to the first signs of disturbance to swiftly cranked all-out terror with the kind of nervy efficiency you can admire without exactly taking pleasure in it. In more ways than one, however, Vollrath’s technically adroit film has trouble sticking the landing. Read full review

Your chances for enjoying this will depend on giving up a search for depth and just strapping in for a B-movie hell ride. Read full review

Unfortunately, not even Gordon-Levitt’s stellar work can sustain a well-made but ultimately underwhelming docudrama from first-time German writer-director Patrick Vollrath. Read full review

For fans of joyless screaming and stabbing, there might be something here worth your time but for those who expect more thrills from their thrillers or at least something close to a purpose, 7500 is a flight worth missing. Read full review

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

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

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

Eine Stärke des Films ist die stetige Spannung, die der Film halten kann. Die Schwäche ist der Realismus. Weder kann ein Cockpit so leicht gestürmt werden, noch sind die Reaktionen des Pilotes (und nicht mal des Attentäters) realistisch.

5 stars, mostly for JGL's performance. His performance makes an otherwise boring action flick palatable. Not sure I understand why he wants to save the ahole terrorist at the end.
