During the flight, Bill receives a text on his secure network warning him that someone will be killed on the plane unless 150 million dollars is wired to a certain account. After some investigation, he begins to suspect, well, most of the plane and while the body count keeps increasing, he searches frantically for the hijacker. Meanwhile, news networks believe that it is in fact Bill who has hijacked the plane and keeping everyone hostage. Not only will he have to work quickly so that everyone survives, but he must work to clear his name.
The main thing you need to be aware of for Non-Stop is that you really cannot expect too much here. Director Jaume Collet-Serra, he of Unknown fame, doesn't exactly create the most intelligent of movies, but that is not to say it is without its merits. It has tonnes of flaws, but it really is quite the laugh, especially if you are watching this in a packed cinema. It really won't be a guessing game you are playing here, you will have no clue who the hijacker is, you just need to go with it. Guess everyone. You might be right.
Of course, Neeson is Neeson and as usual, absolutely charming, lovable, hilarious and arguably one of the best action men at the moment. He never seems to take this too seriously which is proved by the fact that he utters some of the worst lines of dialogue known to mankind, but again, they deliver the laughs. The support cast are really not given that much room to move, Julianne Moore is a plot device while the brilliant Lupita Nyong'o has about two lines in the entire film.
Go, have fun. Don't expect Hamlet...
