Review of 7500 (2019) by Mattkingsbury — 23 Jun 2020
For a film with such a short runtime, there is a hell of a lot of filler here. Just because people are shouting, does not mean tension is being developed. Every scene just lingers a bit too long...and then the film just ends.
Abruptly and unsatisfyingly. Joseph Gordon-Levitt provides a satisfactory performance here with the material he has been given (some of the dialogue is particularly bad), but the rest of the cast feels weak and cliché: the one terrorist who has a change of heart and the hero tries to win over, only to die in the end.
Captain Phillips did this style of film significantly better, and I recommend you watch that instead.
