Non-Stop (2014)
9/10
Engaging until the last minute
24 January 2022
"Non-stop" stands as the most captivating film I've ever encountered. This Airplane-Crime-Mystery-Thriller concept instantly intrigues. The movie commences impressively and maintains its promise through the initial half-hour aboard the plane. While it stumbles slightly afterward, it remains a high-octane thriller that outpaces most in recent years. The escalating conflicts faced by the Marshal inject excitement, particularly during the riveting 20-minute game that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

As conflicts intensify, the exhilarating pursuit to identify the criminal unfolds, accompanied by a palpable sense of risk and the ticking clock. The possible hijacking adds to the stimulating atmosphere. Although the film could have explored certain aspects further, its breakneck pace prevents exhaustive coverage. Despite some minor flaws, the frequent pulse-quickening moments make it a thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile experience.

As an admirer of engaging Crime Thrillers, "Non-stop" pleasantly surprised me, defying expectations given its airplane / hijack setting. Alongside "Sully," it ranks among my top airplane-themed movies.
