I just watched “7500” and was left with a one word response after it was over: Wow.
I can’t think of a better pandemic era distraction. This movie captures our claustrophobic, paranoid zeitgeist — despite being made before we entered this chapter of history. The bulk of the film takes place in the cockpit of a plane, where a plucky young pilot named Tobias Ellis (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) must safe the lives of 85 passengers, as well as the crew and his co-pilot, after a group of Muslim extremists hijack the flight....

I think everyone has at least one movie which initially made little impression on them, but then blew them away during a subsequent viewing. For me, that movie is the 2019 horror film “Crawl.” I won’t share the details of the night when I first saw it, but suffice to say that they were sufficiently miserable to put me in a sour mood....
