Non-Stop

(2014)

The plot is as unlikely as most of these airplane thrillers (exception, Flightplan with Jodie Foster, which I quite enjoyed), but Liam Neeson has turned into such an attractive action hero for older folks like me, that he managed to sell it, just as he did in Taken, and even in Taken 2. (I see there will be a Taken 3 in 2015. We will go see it.) Come to think of it, I probably liked the Jodie Foster film for the same reason. She is so appealing, so committed to the role, such a sympathetic action female hero. We don’t really get a lot of those, do we?
