Liam Neeson stars as Bill Marks, a U.S federal air marshal. Bill is on a plane traveling from New York to London. Soon after the flight takes off, he begins to receive threatening text messages telling him a passenger will be killed every twenty minutes, until $150 million is transferred to a bank account of his choosing. It's revealed that the bank account is in Mark's name. This leads others to believe he is the hijacker. Bill can't be sure who to trust, but must find out what is really going on, and stop whoever is behind it.
The story had me hooked from the beginning. It's only downfall lies within it's third act where the movie attempts to take itself too seriously explaining why he/she is doing this. Granted, that was needed, they

Non-Stop finds ways to keep you guessing throughout.
It can't be stated how much Liam Neeson brings to Non-Stop. He commands such a presence that elevates these B-movies to places that they would be unable to reach if anyone else was starring. In many campy action type flicks, it's obvious the lead is going through the motions, not putting for any true effort. No matter how silly the movie, Neeson always seems to take it seriously. That's an important aspect to why I prefer his fun films over other actors (the script does tend to be a bit better too). He's actually getting into the character and gets me invested. Neeson makes Bill Marks a compelling figure that deserves to be picked-apart. You get the sense early on that Marks is disturbed, having maybe more than a few skeletons in his closet. I do applaud the writing for setting up the character, after that, Neeson runs with it. Don't want to negate the supporting crew that consists of: Julianne Moore, Corey Stoll, Nate Parker, Scoot McNairy, and recent Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o. Each one has enough postie-qualties so you can side with them, but then on the other hand just enough shady-qualities to where you wouldn't be shocked if any turned out to be the big bad.
Even though there were other components besides action
I give this movie a six out of five-star rating. How it managed to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time is beyond me; I am still in disbelief that I was fully engaged for the entire two hours and twenty-six minutes. Although I had heard many great things about the novel, the film exceeded all of my expectations. The Natural teaches many valuable lessons about perseverance, determination, commitment, karma, relationships, and staying young at heart.
From the very first paragraph of the narrative, I noticed that there were several details that the narrator mentioned that required further, deeper thought. For me, this is what made the story appealing.
Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, however, I did have some small issues with the film. The movie was entertaining with a fun plot line and quality
Overall I really enjoyed this movie; the only thing I want to complain about is the lack of Bob Dylan. It is a known fact that Dylan single-handedly revived Cash 's career, yet they only mention him a few times throughout the
The story-line was very good, but it was not the same as the book. The director made a good choice with having the intro be with the girl in the red dress because if they did that in the middle of the movie as a flashback, then that would have made it confusing for the audience. This choice was good and even better than the book because it made the story-line easier to understand.
In my opinion I thought the story was very good but the first time read confusing. But I would maybe recommend it to my friends. On a scale of stars between 1 and 4 I would give in a 2 and a half. But I believe from what I read on biography this is proably a little different from the rest of the stories. Another thing it is confusing is they do a lot of jumping back and forth and not only that a lot of little thing to remember.
The story kept me involved from the beginning to the end. One reason it kept me
Although the dialogue was clever it got a little boring and not exciting at times. It did a brilliant job at using lighting, music and cinematography to better get the message across. If you watch the movie over and over, you would probably learn something new you never noticed about the film before. Almost every scene had some kind of hidden meaning which is good if you watch it a lot. The movie did a good job giving the American Dream it’s distorted truth. You can work every day of your life, but you’ll never be happy unless you have the right relationships and people you care

Overall, I enjoyed the film. My biggest issue was the formatting of the film and the medium that it was available. It would have been more enjoyable had the film not been broken up into segments that needed to load. Had the movie been available on DVD or in one longer segment, it would have been easier to watch. The continuous breaks in the action of
It made really made me think if what the characters are doing morally wrong. Both cops handle justice a different way and no one taught Jake that the world is cruel, and twisted. This eventually causes the climactic intense ending, and will keep your eyes glued to the screen. Although I enjoy this movie there is somethings that could be better. For instance the movie has a slow start. I’m not going to lie, I did skip a bit to the ride along, for it was boring. I also would make a scene more believable, but I digress because if it was the movie wouldn't be able to continue. Overall this movie contained major keys to make it interesting.
The movie is adventure packed and dramatic, overall making an enduring movie. I would rate the movie 4.5 out 5 stars, because of the relatableness between the movie, the book, and your personal feelings. There are

Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.
