Enjoyable not just another airplane thriller

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2014)

If you think you have seen enough airplane thrillers after Red Eye, Flight Plan etc, think again. This one is actually entertaining well paced, well written, not too outlandish, and it has a good cast. The story keeps you guessing long enough and there is a nice sense of who is who among the characters on board.
Liam Neeson the action hero who doesn't have to move too much does a convincing job as the air marshal dealing with a threat coming from someone texting. Julianne Moore works well with him as a passenger. Michelle Dockery shows her versatility - she can play the aristocrat and the flight attendant equally well.
It's exciting till the end and well done.
