REVIEW - Non Stop

It's hard to say too much about this latest Liam Neeson escapade without giving the story, so I'll have to be careful.

Neeson is an air marshal on a transatlantic flight when someone sends him a text saying they're going to kill one of the passengers every twenty minutes unless the airline deposits 150 million dollars into a numbered account. (I'm not sure why we always refer to those accounts where criminals stash the proceeds of their scurrilous activities as 'numbered', seeing as everyone's bank account is numbered, but hey, we can only fix so many problems during one flight).

Aside from the somewhat far-fetched shenanigans and - not that riveting - plot twists, this was your basic flight highjacking given a new coat of paint.

Not something they'll ever show on the blurry little screens on any flight, but not a complete nose-dive into the sea kind of film.
