Review of Non-Stop (2014) by Daniel2651 — 05 Mar 2014

Afraid of flying? Don't worry Federal Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) will keep you safe.

This film is a great action and suspense filled movie, which makes you realize that at 20, 000 feet everyone is a suspect, even Bill Marks' partner!

The film focuses on Bill Marks who is flying back to London and is feeling quite relaxed until he gets a text message from a passenger saying that if he doesn't transfer 150 million dollars into a bank account, then somebody will die every twenty minutes. And the plot thickens when the passengers soon find out that the bank account is in Bill Marks' name.

The thing that I really enjoyed about the film is how it ropes you in at the start with the threat to kill someone every twenty minutes. And the film also ropes you in when Bill starts to suspect that even his partner Rick Hammond (Anson Mount) might be involved in the threat. This then leads up to a punch pounding fight scene between Bill and Rick in the aeroplane bathroom. And the thing that makes this fight scene really good.

Is the fact that its in an original place and also the fact that its in a small space which makes it very hard for Bill to dodge a punch.

I also liked the ingenius plot twists which keep you guessing and keep you right on the edge of your seat. Especially at the end were I was glued to the film.

But even though there are some plot twists the film is a bit predictable at the beginning. And I don't think the film would be quite as good second time round, because when you watch it tge second time you know what the twists, you know who is behind it and the suspense filled scenes don't have the same gripping effect.
