Non-Stop 7.5/10- Action movie+Liam Neeson= Awesome film. Everyone should enjoy Non-Stop. The trailer makes you believe it is just a decent action movie, but it is much more than that. Mystery movies are truly an unappreciated genre in film and Non-Stop is the closest thing you can to a solid mystery movie nowadays. It is not in the Murder on the Orient Express territory, but it is a great "who done it" type of film with action legend Liam Neeson at the helm.
Part of the reason Non-Stop looks so appealing to everyone is that we have all seen Liam Neeson in this type of role before. He has no clue whats going on, but he is smart, and can beat the crap out of anyone. This is without a doubt Liam Neeson's bread and butter movie. He could have carry this movie if he had to, but thankfully the movie actually brought other good components to the table other than an A-list lead actor.
Aside from the movie Flightplan, no other films have really taken place entirely on an airplane and the setting alone is a breathe of fresh air. Now to the plot, you know from the trailer that there will be a few twists and turns, but still the presentation of these twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat despite the fact that you knew it was coming. You really have no idea who the person sending him the texts is going to be. You think you have it figured out, but then the director knew you would think that and eliminate that option and keep you guessing. No one in the theater knew it was going to be who it was, not even me.
The screenwriters must have known while they were writing the movie that Liam Neeson was going to be the lead role because they wrote in all of the advantages that Liam Neeson gives a film. Liam Neeson plays a federal air marshal who is just doing his job. Then, suddenly he has to spring into action after receiving a series of text messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfer $150 million into an off-shore account. The premise of this "who done it" thriller alone is an impressive, bold idea that everyone loves and has definitely paid off. Liam Neeson no doubt gave a great performance Agent Bill Marks and after seeing this movie you will definitely agree that no one could have done a better job.
Best action movie out right now. Anyone who likes entertaining movies will love Non-Stop. I encourage this movie to be your first choice heading into the theater.
