Non Stop (2014)

My hopes were high for some high octane daftness. Liam Neeson is a US Air Marshall on flight from the US to London, whilst in flight he starts to receive anonymous sinister cryptic texts  demanding a $150M ransom or passengers will be killed.

Liam has made himself a name as a bit of an action man recently, the 'Taken' films being a huge unexpected hit, but not even his Irish charms can stop this thriller from a crash landing. It all starts off promising, taut and edgy, Neeson suspicious of everyone, passengers, crew but about halfway through it loses direction and becomes all rather silly. Disappointing.
