Rather frivolous and hackneyed it seemed as the action drama
unfolded 40k feet over the MSL. Liam
Neeson with his “I’ve lost everything in the world” look tries to rev up things
of what I thought ok, now there will be something good I will get to watch, but
alas the ending was too trivial for the palate.
I give this movie full marks because the Hero, is not the one who lands
the plane and saves lives...else, there will be like....the control tower
howling terse and tense directions, “Do you see the switch that is next to
the...turn it on, get to 8000 ft level and ....” and so on for a Hero who would
have flown many a smaller thingy.
Unfortunately, the build up to the movie where the Hero observes
co-passengers with earnest intent, giving a feeling that ah here is a thinker and he will use these
observations to solve the mystery...but alas..nothing of this is played back
later and the film degenerates into some engaging action with the end giving a feeling
more of a shrug than a “Oh wow” or a gasp.
Watch it if there is nothing better to do with an pre-notion of 2 out of
5 rating and you will finally settle at 3 by 5.
On a side note: (This has got nothing to do with NON STOP). I am glad that Liam Neeson had only one Wife and One daughter. TAKEN 1 was getting his daughter back....TAKEN 2 was getting his Wifey and daughter back...One more in his family and we would have been TAKEN again for the third time :-).
