You bet I believe something close to the plot of ‘Non-Stop’ could really happen.
And that makes the action mystery featuring Liam Neeson as a U.S. Air Marshal supposedly making a TransAtlantic jet trip safe for all a really good watch.
Everybody who saw it this past opening weekend who had positively identified the villain before the onscreen reveal raise your hand.
Liar.
Neeson’s rage and angst are frighteningly real, the flight crew’s devotion to their jobs is admirable and the passengers’ confusion and worry are quite understandable.
As somebody who flies every now and then, I was scared.

It had me wondering and guessing and second-guessing the whole time. I like movies like that. Thanks, Chris!

Yet another reason for never getting on an airplane again. Not even an aisle seat. I love Liam Neeson too, but even for him, this angel has her wings clipped.

I love a good action film and I love Liam Neeson!! Did you ever see him in Unknown? I found that film so fascinating. Anyhoo…Whatever happened in Non-Stop, I hope the people that keep us safe have now developed a plan against this happening.

Yes, Neeson can keep me watching. Good call on ‘Unknown,’ Barb. And, finally, yes, me, too on the security matter!
