Review

I didn't watch all of NON-STOP before recently watching this aerial thriller on TV. I found it to be riveting. This movie has suspense and edge-of-your-seat thrills with an intriguing premise that will captivate audiences. The storyline, however, is far-fetched but engaging in its tense setup. I'm surprised that a few moviegoers have noticed its Taken resemblance. The cinematography is astounding in the film and makes it claustrophobic.

Liam Neeson, whose role in Taken solidified him as a genuine action star, did an outstanding performance. He is a viable asset to this movie. The supporting cast is also good, with a few players like Julianne Moore, Scoot McNairy, and Corey Stoll doing well in their roles.

At this point, this is a non-stop thriller, as the title speaks for itself. I recommend this film to action-loving moviegoers and fans of Liam Neeson.

Star rating: (7/10) Good Movie
