Good Entertainment Value

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2015)

As confirmed Liam Neeson fans, I settled down to watch this film as an off-chance discovery whilst channel surfing and with only the very short television synopsis to guide me.
There are so many aeroplane disaster films out there, that coming up with a unique and interesting storyline was always going to be difficult.
Having said that, I was uncertain about the identity of the 'baddie', until the big reveal close to the end of the film, which was all to the good and which raised the points rating.
The main thing in which I was a little disappointed, was that when the motive for the crime was eventually revealed, it just didn't seem very plausible, which meant that what started out as a good solid plot, with strong characters, turned into a rather weakened affair, with no obvious sense of purpose.
'Non-Stop' still offered good entertainment value and I didn't need to think too hard about it!
