Non-Stop





Non-Stop is aptly named for the excitement and thrills never stop once Director Jaume Collet-Serra takes us up to 40,000 feet on an international flight to London.

Liam Neeson plays Bill Marks, an alcoholic, depressive Federal Air Marshall, who starts getting text messages that someone on board will be killed every 20 minutes unless $150 million will be put into a numbered account.  And, it turns out the account is in Marks’ name!

Julianne Moore starts out as the Marshall’s seatmate, but is she to be trusted?  Who is?  Marks, himself?

Though there are logic gaps, to be sure, you really don’t have time to think of them until you’re out of the theater.  Collet-Serra utilizes his Writers’…John W. Richardson, Chris Roach and Ryan Engle…thrill-packed script to keep you on edge and guessing right up to the climax.

If you’re looking for thrills and excitement, Non-Stop is a good bet.  I give it a 4 out of 5.
