I Hate Flying Too!

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2014)

Saw Non-Stop starring Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Nate Parker, and Lupita Nyong'o at AMC Theatres Monday Night! I hate flying just like Air Marshal "Bill Marks" played by Neeson, and haven't flown since 2005, but the movie had a great sense of suspenseful mystery where he had to figure out which passenger(s) were behind the conspiracy of plotting to high-jack an international trans-Atlantic flight to London, United Kingdom against him. There was plenty of action in this 107 minute thriller of a film and I was satisfied with the film overall.
Ever since 9/11, there have been high alerts here in the United States and abroad when it comes to flying the not so friendly skies, so to speak. I'm not sure if the motivation of the real hijackers in this movie, who apparently served in the U.S. Military during Operation Enduring Freedom as depicted in the film, was $150 Million OR the sense that their service in the war was taken for granted. I'm guessing it was a bit of both and by setting-up "Marks" was their revenge against an ungrateful nation, which in the end ultimately backfired!
I also liked the scene where "Marks" helped the little girl on the plane, "Becca" played by Quinn McColgan face her fears of flying. As I mentioned, never liked flying, but had to do it when I was in the U.S. Navy! It sucked! I give the film an 8/10 and if you like action thriller movies with a twist of suspenseful mystery, this is your film to see!
