This is particularly surprising, considering that the screenplay was authored by a couple of guys who have “written” more than 100 episodes of Big Brother and Wipeout between the two of them. The twists here might be unanticipated by even the most experienced of moviegoers - so much so that the audience in my screening actually applauded during the film’s climax. The setup of Non-Stop’s plot is fairly run-of-the-mill, but its execution is what sets it apart from the dozens of cheap suspense flicks that come out every year. Halfway through the flight, Marks receives a text message from a terrorist threatening to kill a passenger every 20 minutes unless they are paid an exorbitant sum of money. Neeson plays Bill Marks, an air marshal riding along on a flight from New York to London. Non-Stop is an enjoyable, fast-paced thriller that doesn’t give you room to breathe until the credits roll. However, walking out of the theater, I came to realize that my predisposition was a mistake. Starring: Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Corey Stoll, Scoot McNairyĪpproximately a week before I saw Non-Stop, I had already decided that it was going to be another apathetic Liam Neeson actioner that the actor has been doing sporadically since the success of 2008’s Taken.
