Theater Thursday

It's Thursday and that only means one thing... it's Theater Thursday!  Each week I take a movie that's out on dvd or available to watch at home and give my thoughts on it while letting you know what the movie is all about. This week's featured movie is, Non Stop.

 

Non-Stop stars Liam Neeson as U.S. Marshal Bill Marks. On a flight from New York to London midway over the Atlantic ocean he starts to get text messages on his secure phone. These aren't just any type of message. The messages state that someone on the plane will die every 20 minutes until they are given 150 million dollars transferred into a bank account. When Bill thinks that it's just a prank but decides to break protocol and asks the other U.S. Marshal on board if he's getting any similar texts. When the other Marshal tells him he doesn't know anything about it Bill gets suspicious.

He searches the other agent's bag and realizes that he's smuggling drugs. An altercation ensues and at the same time the first 20 minutes is ticking by. Bill realizes the texter is telling the truth because the first person on the flight is killed. Now it's a race against the clock because another 20 minutes will go by before the person will strike again. Up against his bosses in D.C. who don't know what to think Bill is practically alone up at 30,000 feet trying to figure out how to save the passengers, get across the Atlantic and figure out who is causing all of the madness. His other problem is all of the passengers.

When the passengers start to realize something is going on and that they could be in danger they begin to turn on each other and Bill. They want answers and he's trying to give them to them while figuring out who he can trust. He knows the crew well from making this flight often but does he really know them? Who can he trust? Who will he trust?

Watch and find out! This movie was really good and I couldn't figure it out until the very end!
