Save yer money

Rating: 3/10 (18 February 2014)

Liam Neeson is an air marshal who gets framed for a hijacking while the plane is over the Atlantic. Should be a nice little actioneer, especially what with Liam coming off the two "Taken" movies. In reality, we're treated to a slow-poke "whodunit" that never really gets anywhere. Julianne Moore is a snooze, and the assorted collection of actors never get a chance to develop (for a fantastic example of how to develop a character in a flash, see Denzel Washington's "Flight").
Worst of all, the movie never sticks to any one genre. It's an action flick, no, it's a mystery, no, it's a feel-good movie, no, it's a political thriller (main character's Irish heritage is mentioned (why???) and many a time the lonely token Muslim is presented as the potential thorn in everyone's side).
Don't waste your money on this. And, Neeson needs to find better scripts.
