Liam Neeson and Michelle Dockery’s thriller, Non-Stop, has officially found a new streaming home in the UK, making it available to viewers on Netflix. Originally released in 2014, the film follows a Federal Air Marshal on a transatlantic flight from New York to London. The plot takes a suspenseful turn when the marshal starts receiving text messages threatening that a passenger will be murdered every 20 minutes unless a staggering $150 million is wired to a specified bank account. With time running out, Neeson’s character must unravel the mystery and identify the killer before it’s too late.
The movie boasts a star-studded cast, including Julianne Moore, and has earned a mixed yet generally favorable reception, holding a 62% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 228 reviews. Critics have acknowledged its entertainment value despite its occasional logical inconsistencies. RogerEbert.com remarked that the film is “so ridiculously entertaining,” while Movie Mezzanine described it as engaging and straightforward, providing “breezy, no-nonsense, kitchen-sink entertainment.” NPR praised Neeson for his ability to elevate the film into enjoyable “guilt-free popcorn pleasure.”
While some reviewers have provided mild critiques—such as the London Evening Standard noting that the film doesn’t fully deliver on its promise of amusement—others, like Digital Spy, highlighted the film’s pace, calling it “taut” and “immersive,” noting that viewers may struggle to find time for snacks as the action unfolds.
Neeson’s films have previously achieved significant traction on streaming services. His 2020 film Honest Thief became the most-watched film on Netflix shortly after its release, while Blacklight, despite being a box office disappointment, found success on the platform earlier this year. Additionally, Neeson’s Ice Road: Vengeance enjoyed similar popularity on Prime Video after being added to the service in September of last year.
