**SPOILER ALERT** Most of the suspense and therefore enjoyment of Liam Neeson's new action thriller "Non Stop" comes from trying to figure out who the villain is and why this person is doing what he or she is doing. If you read the rest of this article, it will spoil the entire movie for you. Period. You have been warned.
There is no question that "Non-Stop" is a well-made, involving, not-terribly-dumb action-thriller that delivers plenty of suspense and endears Liam Neeson further into the heart of those of us who love well-made, involving, not-terribly-dumb action-thrillers. "Non-Stop" is a good movie. Heck, it is darn near very good. But the left-wing sucker punch at the end is a new low, even for Hollywood.
Here come the spoilers. You have been warned.
On an international flight over the Atlantic, burnt-out alcoholic flight marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) is hoping for a nice easy flight in first class where after sneaking a smoke and drink he might even be able to catch a little shut-eye. A text message informing him that one person on the flight will die every twenty-minutes unless $150 million is wired to an account, ruins that plan.
Counting pilots and crew, there are around 150 souls on board. Marks has 20 minutes to figure out which one is the bad guy. Red herrings abound. Is it one of the many actors whose faces we recognize but names we can't remember? People start to die. Marks is fingered as the hijacker. Who's doing this? Why are they doing this? What is their motive?
Here's the answer:

Yeah, those disturbed vets need to be brought under control.../s
There's a big difference between a "survivor" and a "family member".
Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of the leftist Hollywood and know they would never do a movie with a Muslim terrorist plot, but I just don't see this one as being that out there as some of you do. Like I said earlier, they could have just as easily picked a Conservative or TEA party type as their villain... instead they picked someone who is "related" to a 9-11 victim and could just as likely be a left-wing nut as anything else.
Neeson was in another flick “Unknown” where the hero (spoiler alert) turned out to be a Saudi prince turned scientist....I kid you not. The villain?....take a guess. You think an Islamic terrorist?....no...typical Brit villain (as has been the case recently)?....no.....how about the old leftist standby, an American corporation? DING DING DING....we have a winner.
Might be interesting. Neeson, in his youth, was a boxing champion back in Ireland.
I know he’s a big guy so I figured with a little alcohol and drugs in him he might give it a try. He’d be down in 2 seconds flat.
Wonder how Michael Medved will feel about THIS...!!!
Well said, Breitbart. Well said.
After all of the glowing reviews, I had to see it. I was very disappointed. It seemed to me to be soulless and pointless. I don't know what people liked about it.
No. That was Stephen Rea. You have your Irishman mixed up.
I made the mistake of seeing this POS. I believe my shout “That’s some BS right there!” and storming out of the movie was deserved.
Thank you very much for saving me from watching this film. I always appreciate when tripe like this is outed and I don’t waste 2 hours ending up wanting to kick in my TV set.
Hollywood is a complete lost cause, except as a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.
Not 2 days ago I wrote in another thread on Freep that no matter what the attack, the left ALWAYS ends up blaming the victim. Make the victim the villain and *poof* here we go. WHAT a surprise! I can’t believe Laim Neeson would get involved in this sh*t. How bad does this guy need money?
just heard rush Limbaugh tell the plot on radio (spoilers and all).
LOL. take that liberal turds.
I’m sure they’ll be screaming shortly.
And all of the Tea Party/Republican/Conservative/Christian/Patriotic/Law-Abiding US citizens.... would NEVER break the law or disobey the US Constitution! It is the Liberal Democrat who does that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Texas we still love Matthew McConaughey
Cold Mountain was a GREAT movie, loved it.
The book was better.
Scratch that one off the list of movies to watch.
Saving my money for the 300 sequel. I’m in the mood to watch people actually fight to win a war.
