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.

Film Comment Magazine

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).

Chicago Reader

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.

Deep Focus Review

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

Rated: 2/4

An absolutely excellent film to watch while sitting in front of the TV eating dinner. The suspense and tension I felt literally had me sweating all over the first time I watched this, it still happens whenever I view even a short clip on YouTube actually. The final twist is beautifully-written and I wish I could watch it for the first time all over again.

3.5 stars; I'd say this was a little above the average Liam Neeson action movie, and that's not to demean Liam Neeson action movies. Yes, it has all the thrills, suspense, and tension you get from his films. What I liked about this film was that it threw in a good dose of mystery as well. Liam has found his niche and does a very good job at it (like John Wayne). He plays the superhero without being "super." I like how he underplays the role until he rises to the occasion when all is on the line. In the end, he is always underappreciated.
