Non-Stop - Review

Non-Stop



Plot summary:
During his flight from New York to London, US Federal Air Marshal Bill Marks receives a series of anonymous text messages stating that if they don’t get an amount of hundred and fifty million dollars transferred from the airline into their account, a passenger of the plane will die every twenty minutes. The situation becomes complicated as passengers begin to die whilst Bill attempts root out the terrorist behind this – all in a race against time. And as events progress, things look bad for Marks as all the evidence begins to point at him.



Review:
The character Bill Marks, played by Liam Neeson, is shown to be an alcoholic – you see him having a drink even just before he gets out of the car. And the way they depict it – in shots of slow motion – in my opinion, delivers the idea. The movie also gives hints to other aspects of his life as well, in the beginning. They show him looking at the photo of a little girl, presumably, his daughter, and they also show him looking at a couple, as they depart at the airport, in a way that signifies sadness or remorse. Liam Neeson really brings out his expressions in this movie, and this scene in particular, it was notable. The expressions he makes are almost as if they’re genuine. Another notable scene was where he opens up about his past to the passengers of the plane. Indeed, brilliant acting. And not just Neeson, but the supporting actors and actresses also give a praiseworthy acting. The cinematography is well-done in employing the limited setting and collaborating it with the varying lighting to deliver the expected suspense, not to mention the brilliant music that aided in the effect. Plus the music flowed beautifully, adding the dramatic effect for the emotional scenes. The flow of events was indeed, wonderful – it really built the tension and held the suspense. This movie creates an environment where no one is safe and everyone is a suspect. The dialogues all fitted in great, and the plot was well-built, except for one particular detail, in my opinion. I can’t really discuss it here because it will be a spoiler, and I’m not about to spoil this movie for you. However, even with this erring detail, this movie is still a great Thriller to watch.
