Film 25 - Non-Stop

Non-Stop - 28/02/2014

Taken on a Plane, is the title Clare and I had given this for weeks.

Liam Neeson, continuing the geriatric action hero status, is an Air Marshall aboard a TransAtlantic flight to London when he receives a text message on his secure phone stating that a passenger will die in 20 minutes if $150,000,000 is not received in a given bank account.  With no support and a few excellent twists, our OAH (Old Age Hero) is thought to be holding the plane hostage, is he? is he not?

Non-Stop's first hour our so could have been a Hitchcock Thriller, brilliantly executed and everyone is a suspect...even the little 8 year old girl was getting suspicious looks from me.  The ending is nicely action packed as well, although it does stretch the plausibility a little.

Both Clare and I came out of the cinema very satisfied that we had watched a very enjoyable film that was "non stop" and got us interested from the start.

I thought the trailer had pretty much given away the entire film and, as we had seen it before every film this month, we did not hold high hope for it.  So we were pleasantly surprised.

After the film we both wondered if it was the best film to watch the day before we fly to Prague, believe me, we will be watching EVERYONE on that flight!
