Non-Stop hovers at the same altitude as most of Collet-Serra's other work: more entertaining than expected, cleverly and stylishly executed in many respects, but found to be gliding on fumes when broken down in serious examination.

However, in spite of the fact that the movie basically hits just about every one of the most obvious cliches and logic gaps you likely imagined it would, the Liam Neeson action-star brand (with some additional aid from talented co-stars) provides enough fuel to power Non-Stop through to its final destination.ĭirector Jaume Collet-Serra is best known for adding a bit of extra flair to B-movie material like House of Wax (2005), Orphan - and of course Unknown, his previous pairing with Liam Neeson.
Right from the premise of its story, Non-Stop is a risky proposition: single-setting thriller in one of the most constricted public spaces imaginable (a commercial airliner) a flimsy device (pun intended) driving the plot (in this case, text messaging) with a running clock hanging over it all.
