Non-Stop (Jaume Collet-Serra,2014)

This is a new film out with Liam Neeson in playing an air marshal who is on a transatlantic flight to England. He receives a number of unknown text messages putting his passengers in great danger. The person sending the texts wants 150 million dollars put into an off-shore account. Every 20 minutes that passes and there is no money transferred the person kills someone.

In all fairness I went to the cinema to see The Wolf Of Wall Street. However, after a series of problems we decided to go see this film. It looked like the next best one being shown. It certainly didn’t let itself down. I thought that the whole construction of the film was genius. Because it wasn’t until about half an hour into the film that the audience realised that he was actually an air marshal. Making his character extremely ambiguous. Which foreshadowed the entire ambiguity of the film because no-one knows who this killer is. Furthermore, the entire film was based on the aeroplane apart for the beginning and end. Which as the audience you would be apprehensive about, but it worked so well due to the fascinating action and storyline taking place.

When the air marshal receives the text, there are a number of people on board the flight that he thinks it may be, but it keeps the audience in suspense. I won’t give to much away about the characters on board as I wouldn’t want to ruin it! The killer is totally anonymous and it leaves you questioning everybody just like the air marshal. But I 100% recommend seeing this film whilst it is out in cinemas. On the big screen it something superb to watch because of the graphics used.
