Hijacked-airline drama 7500: Fasten your seat belt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, it’s going to be a bumpy ride GlobeArts

opens on a bumpy note. For some unknown and ill-advised reason, director Patrick Vollrath throws the oft-used Gandhi quote “an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind” up on the screen like it is the most profound piece of wisdom that no one has ever heard. I had to fight the urge to turn the film off then and there.

Fortunately, the Gandhi bit is instantly forgotten, and Vollrath quickly gets down to the business of fashioning a lean locked-room thriller about one man’s very bad flight. American co-pilot Tobias is not new to the airline game, having flown across Europe for the past decade with calm, steely confidence.

At least the director, who co-wrote the film with Senad Halilbasic, is more skilled at creating an atmosphere than he is at plotting. Though the plot takes place almost entirely inside Tobias’ cockpit, Vollrath finds novel ways to showcase the space and doesn’t take the easy route of letting a heavy score tease the tension. Instead, the silence of an airliner and the sweat of a pilot under pressure are the director’s friends. Until, that is, the thing runs out of fuel .

Living room becomes war room as Canada’s quest for UN Security Council seat nears voteJustin Trudeau has made plain that securing a seat is among his top foreign policy priorities. Canada has been absent from the Security Council for 20 years It's not 'Canada's' quest, it's PM Al Jolson's quest. Fingers crossed that Trudeau’s panting pursuit of the meaningless temp seat at huge expense to taxpayers, will finally be brought to a screeching halt. Do not reward bribery. Please vote No

Opinion: Why Canada’s bid for a seat at the UN’s Security Council mattersOn June 17, we will find out if the world understands that the United Nations would benefit from Canada at the Security Council table GlobeDebate Vanity for failed PM Trudeau, the narcissistic cottage hider. Canadians have been put into debt, so 3rd world countries are bribed, by this pretend Leader. Meanwhile our Vets, Old Age and marginalized are ignored in Canada. Directly responsible for over 8,000 deaths Covid-19 GlobeDebate How much more are we going to compromise ourselves in pursuing this? Asking for a friend. cdnpoli GlobeDebate A lot of good points but no mention of why Canada is 'well positioned' as opposed to the others, except our supposed respect for diversity. I don't think we can claim to be a lot better in that regard, even given what is now being acknowledged (in some ways, a timely distraction)
