If you are a 'hate America first' type of person, then this is the film for you. At it's root, the film is yet another attempt to implant the mantra of progressive elitists into the brain pan of the audience. It is a celluloid rant favoring false Hollywood ideals.
As far as production values, the film is decently acted, fairly well crafted, with a story line that will initially engage you(that's how they suck you in). First, they get you involved into the story and characters. When they've got you caring and focused on the people and the surrounding events, that is when they start to slip in the messaging, hoping that it will subliminally slip under your cognitive radar. This familiar Hollywood tactic goes terribly wrong this time. Elements are introduced that will at first puzzle the audience, then annoy them. By the final act, you may begin to feel genuine anger toward the filmmakers for their no-so-subtle anti-American digs.
Charlton Heston famously said that "Political correctness is tyranny with manners". You may rest assured that 'Non-Stop' is a movie chock-full of that form of tyranny. By the end of it's 100 minute run time, you will have been told how you should feel about a great many things. Things that have nothing to do with an action film. The 'action' is just a thin coat of icing over a multi-layered cake of Hollywood's political self-righteousness. If that is the type meal you commonly enjoy, then by all means, shell out your twelve bucks and go and get your fill.
