Dreadful but dreadfully entertaining

Rating: 5/10 (10 May 2018)

Not since the heyday of the "Airport" franchise has there been a dafter Airplane picture than "Non-Stop" in which alcoholic air-marshall Liam Neeson has to deal with a psychopathic terrorist on board a non-stop transatlantic flight to London. If the ludicrous script doesn't quite provide a laugh a minute it certainly comes close as the passengers start dying on cue and a good supporting cast; Julianne Moore, Scoot McNairy, Michelle Dockery, Lupita Nyong'o, (wasted since winning her Oscar), Corey Stoll, Nate Parker look on in disbelief. It may be dreadful but it's also dreadfully entertaining, though that doesn't necessarily mean it's worth seeing.
