Non-Stop
Bill Marks is a burned-out veteran of the Air Marshals service. He views the assignment not as a life-saving duty, but as a desk job in the sky. However, today's flight will be no routine trip. Shortly into the transatlantic journey from New York to London, he receives a series of mysterious text messages ordering him to have the government transfer $150 million into a secret account, or a passenger will die every 20 minutes.

Simply A Masterpiece
Admirable film.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Bill Marks, a former cop dealing with his daughter's death by drinking, is now a federal air marshal. While on a flight from New York to London, Marks gets a text telling him that unless 150 million dollars is transferred to an offshore account, someone will die every 20 minutes. Can he find the terrorist in time and save everyone? Non Stop is another brilliant Liam Neeson movie that never stops on making you guess of who wants to shut down the plane but also the acting and the suspense gets better and better by the actual minute to be honest. (10/10)
Without revealing too much, I will say that this film was interesting because it was not easy to predict the outcomes... Indeed nothing is more boring than a story to which you can predict what will happen. Beside a good story we have here superior acting performances...even by supporting roles. Fasten your seat-belt and enjoy more then average entertainment.
Why a man like this Bill (that hates flying) would hold on to such a job is silly, likewise that he abuses alcohol while on the job.But it is retarded that the film does not get into how the criminals behind did it (not only getting into the network, but also being able to hide it, and hiding going to the bathroom), that is retarded.
This was one of those films where i thought, oh here we go again, it's Liam Neeson punching and shooting people from the Middle East. It wasn't just your typical hijack film, however. It was really well paced and directed, and it was thrilling enough to really suck you in and keep you transfixed all the way. You never actually knew who the hijackers were until the end, and it kept you intrigued.I also liked the fact that the Muslim guy in it was a good guy who wanted to help people rather than a stereotypical nutcase you see in a lot of other films.It's the first film iv'e watched for a while where i didn't want to get out my seat to do other stuff! It didn't have any really boring parts in it.Out of the three tough guy films he's done around the same time that iv'e seen (Walking Amongst Tombstones, Run All Night and this), I rated this the best of the three.
