Bus Stop goes Blu-ray thanks to Fox and the transfer looks impeccable. There is no digital enhancement and I suspect the film looked similar to this theatrically. I action-thrilleren 'Sidste stop' bliver den hårdtarbejdende familiefar Michael MacCauley pludselig fyret. Togturen på vej hjem bliver dog. The Movie Itself: Our Reviewer's Take The previews for 'Non-Stop' make it look like a typical check-your-brain-at-the-door, jumbo-jet-in-jeopardy yarn filled with action galore and a plot as preposterous as any in pulp fiction. And if Jaume Collet-Serra's film remained true to its trailers, that would have been perfectly fine with me. Ever since and its deliciously doltish sequels, I've been a huge fan of over-the-top thrillers in the sky. (I even enjoyed the utterly ridiculous ) There's just something about watching a cabin full of trapped, hysterical, oh-so-stereotypical passengers grappling with impending doom and hurtling headlong toward disaster that's bizarrely appealing to me. Call it a guilty pleasure or strange obsession, but I just can't get enough of airline actioners. 'Non-Stop,' however, pleasantly surprises. Unlike its campy cousins, this film doesn't just have a pulse, it also brandishes a brain. Don't get me wrong; far-fetched situations and head-scratching plot developments still abound, but this airborne tale is much more grounded in reality than many similar genre entries. Part part and part 'Non-Stop' combines the best elements of all these flicks to create an absorbing, thoughtful cat-and-mouse mystery that's refreshingly straightforward in its presentation. Creating a taut yet largely authentic airline thriller is no easy task in this post-9/11 age of supposedly impenetrable security, but the free-flowing script crafts a terrifying situation without straining credulity too often. Of course, part of the fun of this type of movie is rolling with the punches and not taking it too seriously, but such flicks are a lot more satisfying when we don't spend half our time rolling our eyes in disbelief. Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a dedicated but disillusioned and slightly unstable air marshal who's haunted by a past tragedy. He drinks too much, covers the lavatory smoke detectors with duct tape so he can sneak a cigarette during flight, and harbors a slight fear of flying that manifests itself during takeoffs. On a typical day at the office, Bill boards a London-bound trans-Atlantic jet and finds himself sitting next to Jen Summers (Julianne Moore), a quirky yet attractive woman who engages him in conversation. Not long after reaching cruising altitude, Bill begins receiving text messages from an anonymous source claiming a passenger will die every 20 minutes unless $150 million is wired into a precise account.
