Plot
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.

Why It Non-Stop Rocks

 * 1) The idea about an action thriller plane film about killer texture threatening to kill every single passenger on every 20 minutes is very decent.
 * 2) The first act of the movie that almost every character on the airplane was almost silent on the first few minutes on an airplane, especially with a suspenseful texting scene.
 * 3) Bill Marks is a decent likable protagonist, he starts off as not a good man that he lost his job, and he is a FAM officer that me managed to save a lot of passengers from getting killed by hijackers in every 20 minutes.
 * 4) *In addition, Kate Winslet is also a sweet, shy, nervous and likable little girl that you should care about, she does get scared over darker moments throughout the entire film.
 * 5) Before most of the action happened, there is a very suspenseful scene where the terrorist threatens Bill to kill a passenger in 20 minutes and they look around to find him to find a texture on the camera.
 * 6) Great cinematography.
 * 7) Almost little-to-no product placements throughout the entire film and it managed to stay away from any real-life companies, and the producers did a good job made a fictionalized version of "British Airlines" into "British Aqualantic Airlines".
 * 8) Decent visual, and CGI effects, especially the airplane.
 * 9) At the beginning of the movie, there is a scene where Bill Marks brings a teddy bear to a little girl and tells her to be calm on an airplane along with a flight attendant is very friendly way, and it's a nice way to handle kids who are nervous about planes.
 * 10) The third act of the entire film is pretty epic, where the plane goes on a dive with a huge shootout before the plane lands into an airport in Iceland.
 * 11) The soundtrack that was performed by John Ottman is amazing as always.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Why was it a good idea for Bill to smoke in the restroom in an airplane?
 * 2) The story is rather a cliche, mainly due to its similarities Air Force One, and sometimes Executive Decision.
 * 3) It can be rather boring at times, despite being a 106-minute action thriller film, mainly due to its slow pace, where most of the action happened in the third act.
