Do it again except this time in a submarine.

Rating: 6/10 (1 March 2014)

Ciaran: When i saw the Non-Stop trailer a week ago, i didn't have overly high expectations for this movie. When i watched the movie, i had a mixed opinion. So the movie begins at an airport, where we see Bill Marks, an alcoholic air Marshall heading to London. Once on the plane, he receives messages about a threat on the plane, the man messaging Bill explains he will kill one person on the plane every 20 minutes, we see Bill interrogate people one by one, eventually only 3 people are killed. This was the story i wanted to see and it was done nicely, but then a bomb was put on the plane- this decision in my opinion ruined the whole movie. Although just after Bill finds the bomb, he says that he thinks that he was never actually meant to find the bomb- i believe this was the original idea the script writers had, that the bomb would just go off- but that probably wouldn't have worked with the general audience. But one of my biggest questions is 'where did the budget go?', i mean the only set they had to construct was probably the inside of the plane and the only other place we see is the airport, so where did the budget go?, i can tell you that it didn't go to the special effects team. Talking about the special effects- i have to say they looked good at the start of the film, but then when we eventually get to the end it looks as if the team slipped a little. Overall i felt Non-Stop was okay, but sadly we have seen this type of movie before, as an action movie it was good to watch, as a mystery i found it a bit too predictable and as thriller it wasn't that good, so i feel my final verdict can only be a 6/10.
