good thriller

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2014)

You can't go wrong with a Liam Neeson film, for the most part. In non- stop, he plays this down on his luck air marshal who is on this transatlantic flight he gets called on to ride. He doesn't really like to fly, odd for someone with this job. Anyhow, there was something that had happened to him and gave him a bad reputation. He's drinking, kind of a loner, down on his luck.
On board the flight he starts getting text messages that people will start getting killed unless he pays ransom. Then all sorts of crazy stuff starts happening, and the movie ratchets up the suspense. you are never really sure who is good vs bad, or why this event is even really happening.
Then you figure it out, and Liam Neeson gets to flex his tough guy skin again, like in Taken or some of his other recent films. Julianne Moore plays this quirky lady passenger, yep, again, Femme mysterieuse and maybe she's too weird for some reason?
The suspense was good, the acting was pretty good, and the film moves quickly. I recommend Non-Stop as a tidy, good thriller that you will enjoy.
