Non-Stop (Universal, 2.28) isn’t just the latest high-concept action flick starring Liam “Paycheck” Neeson. A new kind of “Die Hard on a jet airplane”, it has a dopey-sounding plot in which Neeson (playing a brawny air marshall) is not only trying to stop a blackmailing psychopath from icing a passenger every 20 mintues but clear himself of suspicion while doing so. Also collecting a check is 12 Years A Slave‘s Lupita Nyong’o (no — I don’t think this is Nyong’os Norbit). Ditto Julianne Moore, Michelle Dockery, Nate Parker (who was so great in Arbitrage), Linus Roache, Scoot McNairy and Corey Stoll.
