Misleading title, but fun nonetheless.

Rating: 7/10 (23 April 2016)

Alcoholic Federal Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is flying across the Atlantic when he receives a text message on his phone: someone on the plane is threatening to kill a passenger every twenty minutes unless $150m is transferred to a specified off-shore account. Working against the clock, Bill desperately tries to figure out who is behind the threat, but as he pieces the clues together it slowly becomes apparent that he has been set-up to take the fall.
The success of hard-hitting thriller Taken (2008) transformed respected thespian Liam Neeson into an unlikely Hollywood action hero. With a title like Non-Stop, one might reasonably expect this particular Neeson vehicle to be a thrill-a-minute, stunt-packed, white-knuckle ride from start to finish—but it isn't: it is, for the most part, a mystery, and only really kicks into action mode during the final act.
While this might understandably upset those expecting more in the way of spectacular adrenaline-fuelled excitement, I found Non-Stop to be an enjoyable suspense film, albeit one riddled with plot-holes big enough to fly a passenger jet through. For the best possible experience, I advise stowing your brain in the overhead compartment before watching; before you know it you'll have arrived at the end credits refreshed and entertained.
6.5/10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.
