Non-Stop (2014)


Non-Stop is an action thriller starring Liam Neeson.  Being the typecast that he is now, you can expect Liam's character to dish out some pain on a revenge plot.  The movie takes place on a plane in the sky, where a terrorist threatens to kill a passenger every 20 minutes until he receives $150 million.  He makes real of his threat, and the movie becomes very intense as a passenger dies again and again, with the killer somehow able to manipulate and time the deaths.  The film manages to keep up its pace as Liam's character, Bill, tries to track down the killer amongst the 150 passengers.  While mostly a thriller, it becomes more action oriented towards the end once the killer is unmasked.  The killer's motivations isn't that believable and the film strays towards the more exaggerated side, leaving behind any traces of cleverness it might have displayed earlier on.  That's not to say that it wasn't enjoyable as Non-Stop manages to capture your attention for the whole 100 minutes.
