Sadly disappointing!

Rating: 3/10 (10 July 2018)

Spoilers! It's engrossing & suspenseful but in that almost too painful to watch way. Right off the bat then again every few minutes there's another absurd plot flaw. Why is a known alcoholic still employed as an Air Marshal? Why does Neeson order a drink he won't be served cuz the flight attendants know he's on duty? So hello passenger next to me: that's not oddly noticeable, she got her drink but he water when they ordered the same thing at the same time?? Why is the airline confirming a highjcking in progress to the news-seen on the plane live-identifying Neeson? How's that not make the situation more dangerous. Why are the passengers so belligerent (how about a racist stereotype of a rough black guy-really??)? Why is Neeson acting so volitlle & rough almost immediately? Again, creating passenger anxiety is counterintuitive?? Why can the tech guy turn on & find the highjackers phone but no one suggests he try to unlock it? Then why & I think this may be the most absurd of all, does Moore suggest GUESSING at the phones passcode? Why do they insist on disconnecting the planes WiFi?? Is it dangerous or something? It THAT what highjacked the plane-really how on earth does that help foil the way-too-quickly-concluded suspect Neeson's evil plan? It was so poorly written that I was waiting for the next huge gaping plot hole rather than what's going to happens next. So many so often I found it far more WTF frustrating than disappointing. Kinda feel sorry for Hollywood's pathetic miss on what could have been a great movie! Or at least not something the big name actors should perhaps be ashamed of taking part in if they respect their chosen profession? Sigh...
