Non-Stop (2014)

Rated PG-13; 106 min   -   Action | Mystery | Thriller

An air marshal springs into action during a transatlantic flight after receiving a series of text messages that put his fellow passengers at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account.

Director: Jaume Collet-Serra
Stars:    Liam Neeson, Julianne Moore, Lupita Nyong'o, Anson Mount

Liam Neeson might be the go-to action guy these days, but I have a hard time watching him.  He's getting up there in the years and if you look closely, you can see how it messes with his action scenes.  Don't get me wrong, I like the guy's presentation, but dude, less action, more commanding roles please

I hope Non-Stop does at least OK for Neeson and this new director.
