Great Neeson Vehicle

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2014)

I saw "Non-Stop", starring Liam Neeson-The Taken movies, Darkman; Julianne Moore-Carrie_2013, The Big Lebowski; Scoot McNairy-12 Years a Slave, Bones_t.v.; Michelle Dockery-Downtown Abbey_t.v., Hanna and Lupita Nyong'O-12 Years a Slave, and this one is her second big screen movie.
This is a perfect Liam Neeson movie, with lots of tense action and he gets to grimace a lot, as only Liam can, as he delivers his lines. Liam plays an air marshal with problems. He had a tragic incident happen in his personal life and has become a bit of a drinker. He is also smoking pretty heavily so this makes him appear a little irrational at times. His latest assignment is on a transatlantic non-stop flight from America to England. About mid-flight, Liam starts getting text messages from a fellow passenger saying that they will kill someone on board the plane every 20 minutes unless he gets 150 million dollars in a Swiss bank account. Liam tells the pilot and even his air marshal supervisor but they don't believe him and think it is just a prank. Of course, they think differently, sometime around the time that the third body pops up dead. Julianne and Scoot play fellow passengers that fall under Liam's suspicions as being the terrorist and Michelle and Lupita are stewardesses. It is rated "PG-13" for violence, language, drug references and smoking and has a running time of 1 hour & 46 minutes. I enjoyed it and would buy it on Blu-Ray.
