ThiefHott Too much of everything

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

mariondowning-427-469344 I really enjoyed this movie. The acting was really good, the suspense was fine with me. It wasn't the best movie in the world, but from the negative reviews you can see many bigots watched and took offence at a Muslim not being the bad guy. An American was the bad guy, and they couldn't handle that. That makes this movie anti-American apparently. Whereas, when people from other countries are bad guys in other movies, it isn't considered anti- those countries by blind bigots. If a Muslim is the bad guy it's just normal and natural apparently (even though most of the crimes committed in America are done so by Americans). In y country when someone is the same background as me and committing a terrorist offence, I don't take it personally but you can see here that other people do.

The Movie Diorama I despise the title of this film. Automatically brings out connotations of blandness and genericness, kind of like a Straight-To-DVD low budget action film starring Bruce Willis or Nicholas Cage. However, the Neeson and Collet-Serra combination is a winning formula as this is yet another fun ride. A damaged Air Marshal is trapped in a murderous mystery where he must transfer $150 million to a bank account. If he doesn't, a passenger will meet their demise every 20 minutes until he does so. All of this happens on board a long plane journey. It works, it works so well. Very reminiscent to 'Flightplan', but far more focussed on the characters. Like with any mystery, the list of suspects need to be developed to a point where the final reveal shocks you. Given the small runtime, I believe the character developments were adequate. Their backstories and motives are naturally revealed. It's not a case of our protagonist interviewing each one in turn, he instead provokes them and addresses the passengers as one entity. Sure there are times where he questions individuals, which is necessary to identify possible suspects, but that cannot be avoided. I appreciate the small details in these characters. Moore's vulnerability is shown as she explains why she sits on the window seat, our Air Marshal's troubled past is revealed which questions the authenticity of his actions. It's very twisty, full of turns and a meticulously thought out narrative. The final reveal and motives are slightly blurred and unmemorable, although I was still on the edge of my seat...even after my fifth viewing! The claustrophobic environment adds to the suspense and tension. Liam Neeson still thrives on his rejuvenated action career. I did roll my eyes at the end where he was saving the little girl, makes his character arc far too predictable. Non-Stop is not going to fly away as a classic thriller, but it lands with such confidence that it's hard not to enjoy this.

supermaggie This movie shows a lot parallels to Flightplan, (if I had to pick one I would choose the female power of Jodie, and because Non-Stop is slightly heavier on the action-side and Flightplan slightly more on the drama-side, but) both movies are fantastic and their biggest success is that beside being extremely thrilling, they show the pain and the powerlessness and stress when you know you know/speak the truth, but you are being manipulated in such a way that nobody believes you. And to people who think the plots are illogical/exaggerated etc. - well, I can only say: these people are the proof of the realism of the plot. Fates are different, and correspondingly ignorant and arrogant is some people's behavior. The people who think the plot is unbelievable are usually the ones who trust the bombers / blackmailers / liars and applaud them (they are not always bombers, but they are, for example, spiritual instigators and more often than not money is their goal as well) and the victims who do know the truth, they do not believe them, they disrespect and even blame them and make their life a torment. This is happening every day, and only the ignorant / arrogant / inexperienced and naive, who have always been lucky and have never experienced suffering and lack of respect and lack of support and never really had to fight hard, deny this - and they think their happiness is their own achievement alone - ha ha, how nasty and blind can people be (it is exactly these people who never had to struggle). And that these movies successfully address and show this phenomenon is a success of its own, and in addition there is the superb acting, and an extremely suspenseful production. Check them both out!

twogunrosie This movie was a fun and thrilling action movie that was filled with one plot twist after another. It keeps you guessing right until the end. Just when you think you know "who done it" the story throws another curve at you. The final reveal comes at you unexpectedly, but the heart pounding action doesn't stop there.Liam Neeson was awesome as always. The supporting characters give the story line just what it needs to keep you on the edge of suspense through the entire film.I can't say if the story line is plausible but everything seemed to be within the realm of possibility, making this movie even edgier and more frightening. One of the best action flicks I've seen in a long time!
