Non-Stop Suspense

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2014)

Liam Neeson in the movie 'Non Stop' has played the role of a father, a hunter and a cop well, as expected from a successful and experienced action star. Unlike his most of the films, Neeson(Bill) in the movie is more fallible than usual. He is not especially clever or resourceful, just honest. He fights well but not invincibly, but tries to do his best when needed. Although it is hard to swallow that he is an air marshal being an alcohol addict, but it is convincing given the depression in the past because of the death of his young daughter and the downward spiral of his life.
Most of the film takes place on a flight from New York to London. Midway Bill starts getting text saying passengers will die regularly unless he convinces the agencies to pay $150 million into an account - which turns out to be his own. Basically Bill was being set up as a desperate hijacker. From this point, Bill has to face both agencies and passengers on the plane itself, as he is now being considered as the hijacker. The sequence of deaths on the plane also troubles Bill as he is unable to convince rest of the passengers.
The story keeps the suspense till the end keeping the interest of the audience and gluing them to the screens. The suspicion also varies over different persons on the plane as the time passes and different twists and turns appear, confusing Bill and building a thrilling ending.
The revelation of who is behind this is a kind of a spoiler, but it has an exciting ending. The movie is fun and a must watch.
