For a movie that almost entire thing takes places inside a boring air craft and no shots fired till the very end it's very good.

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2014)

What does most successful action movies has in common? They all have a strong start, gripping midsection (thanks to the start) and a heavily predictable ending. Non-Stop fits the same formula but it works like a charm like some old medicine that cures sneezing over and over again. We all know what were gonna get but amused by it like it's the first time we see it. It's all because we are hungry for silver screen heroes and we are starving to see them succeed no matter how young or old they are. In Non-Stop Liam Neeson the 61 year old yet going strong action star does his job right once again and we the fans are amused.
Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is an Air Marshal with a history which he is not very satisfied about. On a flight seems to be routine and nothing suspicious things become very strange when he receives some unsettling text messages from someone aboard the flight demanding for ransom. And suddenly Bill is left to seek for this terrorist who threatens to bring down the flight alone while the other passengers and the world left to believe that Bill is running the whole show hijacking the plane. Bill is having too much on his plate as you can see. And he has to gulp them all and survive a bad stomachache.
The plot of Non-Stop is far-fetched. There is no amusement there since no action movie was ever practical in real world. Not even the first 10 minutes. The challenge for the director (In this case of Jaume Collet- Serras) is to make the viewers believe that all this can happen. In Non- Stop so much has being quite successful. Well that's until everything is ruined by trying to explain what was going on all this time and then it becomes a soup. And then comes the landing part. I don't think I have to explain it further because we all have seeing ample jumbo jets land practically almost anywhere.
But the good thing is when the director decides to ruin it, it has almost reached its ending. So as fans we can be happy that at least the majority of the time we were enjoying it without needing to worry too much about who's the bad guy etc etc. Coz the plot is entertaining and the events are rolled out quite excitingly. I have to admit that for a movie that almost entire thing takes places inside a boring air craft and no shots fired till the very end it's very good.
