I'd like to start by saying that Liam Neeson is one of my favorite actors – and as far as I'm concerned, everything he touches turns to pure gold. He became a full-blown household name after his masterful work in Schindler's List, but in my book he will forever be etched in my imagination as Qui-Gon Jinn from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Don't get me wrong: he's been a part of some historically terrible films, including The Phantom Menace, along with films like Battleship, The Haunting, and The Nut Job. However, Neeson's best work outweighs the problems. And, while his role in Non-Stop is far from memorable, he rarely fails to entertain. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Unknown, House of Wax), Non-Stop stars Liam Neeson as Bill Marks, an American federal airman. marshal secretly patrolling a commercial airliner from New York to London. As the flight begins, Marks receives a text message over a secure channel from someone anonymously demanding $150 million or else someone on board the plane will die every 20 minutes. Initially believing it to be a prank by fellow Federal Air Force officer, Jack Hammond (Anson Mount), it quickly becomes clear that the anonymous terrorist is not joking when the passengers are suddenly murdered. Things get even more complicated when the mysterious man behind the plot begins framing Marks, making it appear that he is the one carrying out the hijacking. With only a handful of people to help him, including another passenger, Jen Summers (Julianne Moore) and a flight attendant, Nancy Hoffman (Michelle Dockery), Marks attempts to discover who is behind this elaborate plot, while also attempting to prevent passengers from finding themselves dead. On this plane, however, everyone is a suspect, but when the occupants of the plane... are at the center of the paper... an acting ability. Both are brilliant actors, but this is not the kind of film that highlights acting ability. Overall, Non-Stop is no different from its title in the sense that the film is rarely slow-paced or uninteresting. To that end, one could easily say that the film features non-stop action, even if the action doesn't always come in the form of the usual "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality. Some scenes are more emotional than others, basically depending on how much you care about certain characters when it comes time to grit your teeth. In any case, there is nothing bad to say about Liam Neeson's portrayal and when this film comes out on home video, there will definitely be an open spot waiting on my shelf. Die-hard Liam Neeson fans, and even casual action movie lovers, should not hesitate to give their undivided attention to Non-Stop..
