SAINTS OF THEWEEK From an aristo Suspense is greater the higher you fly VIEWERS’ REACTION to the hijacking thriller 7500 (Am- azon) might depend on how far the memory of 9/11 has receded for them. Peril in the skies has al- ways been a dramatic sta- ple. But Islamist terrorists who chant “Allahu akbar” are such predictable villains that the plot gets drained of suspense after a while. Director Patrick Vollrath, who co-wrote the screenplay with Senad Halilbasic, has come up with the original notion of telling the story ex- clusively from the viewpoint of co-pilot Tobias (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Confined within the cramped cock- pit at night time, its small space dimly illuminated by the glowing instrument pan- el, he has only occasional glimpses of cabin violence via a small black-and-white monitor. The plot thus becomes a moral maze for Tobias, who must weigh his profession- alism and training against the need to preserve lives of the crew and passengers. Ground control can only get him so far and, with a wounded arm, he needs to find someone who can help operate the instruments. Before the flight from Ber- lin to Paris begins, the only crisis appears to be that two passengers checked in bag- gage without boarding, and Tobias chats amiably with his flight-attendant girl- friend, Gokce (Aylin Tezel), with whom he has a 2-year- old son. Armed with glass shards, hijackers led by Kenan (Mu- rathan Muslu) storm the cockpit as soon as the jetlin- er reaches cruising altitude. Tobias manages to kill one of the assailants before Michael (Carlo Kitzlinger), the cap- tain, is mortally wounded. Tobias gets the cockpit door sealed off, but then has to deal with threats to Tough choices: Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Tobias, a co-pilot on a hijacked plane, in the thriller 7500 .

Peter, a Galilean fisherman chosen by Christ as one of the Twelve Apostles, became the undis- puted leader of the fledgling church after Pentecost. Paul, a Pharisee and Roman citizen who had persecuted Christians, became after his dramatic conversion the church’s greatest missionary, its “apostle of the gentiles.” By tradition both were martyred in Rome. Their adventures are recounted in the Acts of the Apostles, and letters from them are includ- ed in the New Testament. This early Christian theologian passed on the apostolic tradition to a new genera- tion as he helped evangelize France. Born in Asia Minor, possibly at Smyrna, Irenaeus was taught by St. Polycarp, a pupil of St. John the Apostle. Sent to Gaul as a missionary, he served as a priest under St. Pothinus of Lyons, a martyr whom he succeeded as bishop of the large market city on the Rhone. Irenaeus continued to spread the Gospel and opposed the gnostic heresy, writing a five-book treatise that is extant.

He also has to make a decision about landing the plane while simultaneously attempting to calm down the youngest hijacker, 18-year- old Vedat (Omid Memar). None of this quite adds up to white-knuckle suspense. But the drama is effective in showing how one man’s se- ries of decisions can affect the lives of others. The film contains some physical violence and fre- quent rough language. - CNS ¾ ¾ Kurt Jensen STREAMING ON AMAZON
