social media on a plane

Rating: 5/10 (1 November 2014)

This movie really wasn't that good. It's not much of an action movie and stars Liam Neeson, an actor turned action star once he reached 60. Social media, aka texting, is basically the star of the show. Neeson plays troubled air marshall, Bill Marks, whom is on a plane to London. On the plane, he starts receiving text messages from someone threatening to kill passengers if he doesn't get a lot of money transferred to a bank account. Marks uses cameras to come up with suspects whom may be using a phone. Sure enough, a few die, but at whose hands. Then a bomb comes into play.
Can Marks find the hijackers, whom by the way, has become the main suspect with authorities on the ground, save everyone left on the plane and keep the bomb from destroying the plane? FINAL VERDICT: It's OK, but having the text messages appear on the screen just made it seem so cheap, like a TV movie. Not Neeson's best action movie.
