**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:

Secondly, having the bearded muslim guy wind up being the terrorist makes for too predictable of a story... having someone else be the star villain makes the plot a little more interesting.
I intend to pass this spoiler on to as many friends and like-minded people I can. Hope everyone here does the same.
The scary thing: these “all Muslims good, USA families and military bad” propaganda films sound SO COOL poolside in Beverly Hills, where the balding liberal men and greedy younger women discuss them under pergolas of jasmine, drinking kombucha and smoking weed.
What these fame seeking idiots don’t realize is how these films cement those ideas not only into the movie going youth of America but also to our enemies all over the world. Even in the third world these films are seen, and often multiple times, which sears the simple propaganda into their brains.
They are causing future deaths for our people. For their own kids, possibly. It wasn’t just the poor or the right wing aboard those planes on 9/11.
I have been wondering why they are promoting it so hard. I just figured it stank.
Omg. I didn’t know he converted to Islam! No wonder Neeson chose to do this pos film.
What next, a warm bio-pic about the misunderstood Mohamed Atta?
Is that really the same thing? Really?
Liam Neeson is a weak-minded Hollywood whore.
He's an actor. He only has to show up on set half-way sober and half-way on time and speak his lines. Look for anything more from him and you won't find it.
No. He didn't.
Well he was the lead in Schindler's List.
They make movies for each other - one liberal elite for another liberal elite - and to earn ‘prizes’. Then Hollywood throws in enough violence to sell tickets to 14 year old boys and folks in other countries who don’t have time to read subtitles. The movies are crap... they know it. We point it out. One of the reasons they hate us. One of many reasons they hate us.
They make movies for the rest of the globe.
That would not surprise me one bit.
Do you honestly think that all of the thousands and thousands of 9/11 "family members" are mentally stable, conservative America-loving folks? Do you even think that a majority of them fit that qualification?
If they made the villain out to be a TEA Party type, then yes, I would be offended... but they didn't.
You people are getting yourselves all in a snit over nothing... and making yourselves sound pretty stupid in the process.
My google research quickly told me that he did. Not openly but quietly. He’s a muzzie.
Wow. I can't believe I read that on FR. I really don't care what percentage of 9/11 families are stable or not stable.
I do not like, and will not accept, using those poor victims in this way. Please do not reply to me. No offense, but I really don't want to debate this with you.
It's sad when outrageous gossip rags are used as straight news "reporting." His words were taken out of context and the words printed seem more like the answer to a hypothetical; an opinion of the writer, couched as a direct quote.
Not defending the clueless actor, but I'm surprised he doesn't seem to exercise much judgment.
And no, you couldn't pay me to watch this movie.
I stopped watching anything Neeson after he played the sexual predator kinsey.

A lot of the family members have proven to be jerks in the past dozen or so years. Like this group working with the ACLU against the death penalty:
Or, how about this group which speaks out AGAINST our "torture" of the poor terrorists?
How about the survivors (atheist group) who sued to try and stop having a cross installed at a 9-11 memorial?
How about this family member who is now dedicating her life to defending Muslims and fighting bad perceptions about Muslims?
Sorry, but the scenario the movie depicts isn't outlandish in one bit. Being related to a 9-11 victim didn't make everyone suddenly become pro-American or more sane than they were prior. In fact, that event seems to have given some of these people an excuse for their being and given them "purpose" in life.
But to make a 9/11 victim as a airplane terrorist is reprehensible. It is as reprehensible as making a movie in 1944 with USS Arizona survivors as evil agents of the Japanese.
