Den Job des Air Marshalls übt Bill Marks nicht gerne aus: Er hasst das Warten, die Verspätungen und das lange Sitzen im Flugzeug. Doch während eines Fluges von New York nach London erhält er eine Textnachricht, aus der hervorgeht, dass alle 20 Minuten ein Passagier des Flugzeuges getötet wird, sollte er der Anweisung, 150 Millionen Dollar auf ein Konto zu überweisen, nicht Folge leisten. Im Wettlauf gegen die Zeit muss Bill herausfinden, wo sich der Erpresser an Bord des Flugzeugs befindet, was auf Unmut unter den anderen Leuten stößt, da sie durch die angespannten Anweisungen des Air Marshall zunehmend ängstlicher werden. Als sich rausstellt, dass das angegebene Konto auf Bill zurückzuführen ist und sich eine aktive Bombe an Bord befindet, wird er beschuldigt, das Flugzeug entführen zu wollen und somit vom Jäger zum Gejagten

I really enjoyed it, but I'm also a sucker for these kind of movies. Since Taken, Neeson has become one of my favorite actors in the action genre, and he sure as hell didn't disappoint this time either :)
Absolutely ridiculous plot, but a lot of fun, primarily because Neeson is so watchable. The first half is genuinely suspenseful despite the rather clumsy setup with the filmmakers keen to implicate as many suspects as possible before the threats become real. Red herrings abound, but initially clever plot twists that set up the hero gradually stretch credibility beyond breaking point even within the confines of a film that is designed to simply entertain. It is a shame the latter half of the film becomes increasingly ludicrous, losing any tension built as a result, but Neeson manages to keep it watchable.
Great beginning, great buildup and climax, not so good resolution though! Still Neeson was the best choice for this movie!
The premise is intriguing, and director Jaume Collet-Sella delivers intermittent claustrophobic thrills, although he struggles to sustain momentum. Neeson isn't going to win an Oscar for this but he's re-affirmed his position as Hollywood's favourite and least likely action star.
I guess Liam Neeson has found his groove. Just how many Action flicks has this guy been in over the past few years? From memory, I can recall "Taken", "Taken 2", Taken 3", "The Grey", "Unknown"...there may be more. It is a pretty cool thing that a 60+ year old man can become the hottest action hero in the Movies. That may be overstating it a bit, but again, look at how many Action films he's starred in recently. "Non-Stop" is nothing original. All of the action takes place within the confines of a plane, albeit a rather large plane. Liam's character Bill Marks does some pretty incredible things for a washed-up, alcoholic cop but his skills aren't at the level of his "Taken" character. His sidekick is played by the almost always overrated Julianne Moore. She's sort of tolerable in this, but her presence just irritates me. That's my problem and I'm sure many will like her here. The external shots of the plane are all CGI. It's notacable and I don't think they spent a lot of time on it. But that's just the way effects are done these days. It takes away most of the authenticity of the environment but I'm sure the film makers saved a lot of money over what it would have taken to do practical effects.
