Gone Crazy and Back Again by Robert Sam Anson

Richardson, Chris Roach and Ryan Engle is impressive for a first feature credit for the trio. Original Review: William Bibbiani says “the best part of is Lupita Nyong’o’s Grace Jones haircut.”Ĭonsidering the airplane thriller and the paranoia conspiracy have been pretty well played out, I was really impressed how Non-Stop kept things moving and inventive. The hijacker has thought pretty well ahead to make Marks look like the suspicious one too. They conveyed this pretty well in the previews, but he’s got to have $150 million transferred to an account or a passenger will die every 20 minutes. Turns out Marks is an air marshal and a hijacker texts him some pretty wild orders. The movie is making a promise to us to pay off, and this time it honors its commitment. He checks in for his flight to London, meeting a bunch of supporting characters who will be important later, and a scared little girl who will redeem him. It begins with a shorthand introduction to sad Bill Marks (Neeson) looking out a rainy windshield, picture of his dead daughter on the windshield and a bottle of whiskey he pours into his coffee.

Non-Stop actually unfolds a clever story, and it is awesome.

It worked so hard to justify itself that it was aggressively stupid, and it didn’t even need a reason. You know my rule is: the only explanation a movie ever needs is “because it’s awesome.” Well, Unknown is what happens when explanations go wrong. It was from the team that made Unknown, producer Joel Silver, director Jaume Collet-Serra and star Liam Neeson.
