Alcoholic and world-weary, U.S. Air Marshal Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) lost his passion for his work long ago. Even though lives are potentially at stake during every flight, he sees the assignment as just a desk job. However, his "ordinary day at the office" becomes a high-stakes crisis during a flight to London. Marks receives a series of text messages demanding that he instruct the airline to transfer $150 million into an offshore account, or a passenger will die every 20 minutes.

Critics Consensus

While Liam Neeson is undoubtedly an asset, Non-Stop wastes its cast -- not to mention its solid premise and tense setup -- on a poorly conceived story that hinges on a thoroughly unbelievable final act.

With Non-Stop, Collet-Serra confirms his status of one of Hollywood's most inventive genre artists (and one of the last to shoot on film).

The filmmaking is playful without feeling jokey, the narrative stuffed with fun complications.

This doesn't merely make Snakes On A Plane look like plausible drama; worse, it's a bit of a drag

...a very fun and entertaining action thriller that allows the audience to just sit back and play along.

Claiming the production is on autopilot would be shameless given the setting, but it’s also very accurate.

It's the kind of easy role Neeson can play in his sleep.

Personally, I loved this movie! It has tons of action and suspense but does have some life lessons and mature themes along the way, this makes it the perfect movie. Being into aeroplanes and an Agatha Christie fan, this movie was especially good for me, kind of like a modern reboot of the Murder on the Orient Express just that bit better, but even for anyone, this movie really grips you and you definitely want to know the ending. A good murder mystery has to include lots of what - ifs and you start to think it's someone but then it's revealed it's someone else, and this for sure included this. And that action sequence at the end was the craziest thing ever, really depicting what an emergency landing and plane crash would be like in real life (except for all the fighting!). I get how some people would not be too keen on this movie, but personally, I can officially confirm that this is my favourite movie (for now!).

Utter codswallop. So glad I never went to see this when it first came out. I like Neeson, but this is like some frenzied teen's idea of a plot - just keep piling absurdity on absurdity. Meh. And what about the poor bloke our flaky Marshal literally scared to death? Never mind him (or the pilot), let's all smile happily at each other and walk off into the sunny uplands. Ridiculous.

A good pulpy film! Jaume Collet-Serra is the man when it comes to films like this. I’ll see anything he does because he gets action filmmaking better than 99% of the for hire filmmakers today. He rules. I was surprised that this had some pathos even with Neeson’s character. He’s one of the best at having a hurt character in an action setting is.

Solid movie, had me interested throughout though the man on the phone with Liam’s character throughout the film was frustratingly annoying.
