One of them foams at the mouth before collapsing dead on the floor. Both are shown to suffer for a short amount of time, gagging and choking. This is very quick and not particularly graphic.Ī couple of characters are killed by poisoning. One character presses hard on a vein in the others neck and the fight ends when one character has their neck broken. It takes place in the plane’s restroom and is therefore in a very confined space. One of the few action scenes is quite intense. One character is found to have been taking photos of a woman’s cleavage although this is not gratuitous. This is not explicit as the blanket covers both of them completely and it is likely that a lot of children may just believe that these characters are kissing. The female character giggles and the lowered voices of her and a male character can be heard. One character finds a large amount of drugs on board the plane and tries a small amount to check that it is real.ĭuring a panning shot of the plane, there is a brief 5 second shot of 2 characters under a blanket, having sex. Other characters drink alcohol on board the plane and Bill smokes on the plane a couple of times, covering the smoke alarm with tape to prevent anyone being alerted to it.

The movie begins with Bill sitting in his car drinking whisky from a cup although there are no actual signs of him being drunk. CONTENT: IS ‘NON-STOP’ SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN? ‘Non-Stop’ is an exciting drama that is likely to be a pleasant surprise for anyone expecting another ‘Taken’. The tension ramps up as the film progresses and, while several parts could be quite twee, thankfully the realism shines through and there are very few clichés. While the action is few and far between, this movie is anything but boring. Not knowing who the criminal is means that the audience react to the suspicious nature of each character and therefore everyone is a suspect! The supporting cast is also very realistic as passengers of a hijacked plane, with plenty of suspicion and prejudices to keep their fear and paranoia levels high.

Neeson, as usual, plays the ‘everyman’ role well and is very believable as a good man who has lost everything. While there have been many similar movies in the past, ‘Non-Stop’ manages to stand out by being much more intelligent keeping the audience guessing from start to finish. While this could easily have turned into a generic action flick, ‘Non-Stop’ is much more of an adrenaline-fuelled thriller as the focus is much more towards the suspense rather than punch-ups and shootings.
