Turns out Marks is an air marshal and a hijacker texts him some pretty wild orders. The movie is making a promise to us to pay off, and this time it honors its commitment.
He checks in for his flight to London, meeting a bunch of supporting characters who will be important later, and a scared little girl who will redeem him. It begins with a shorthand introduction to sad Bill Marks (Neeson) looking out a rainy windshield, picture of his dead daughter on the windshield and a bottle of whiskey he pours into his coffee.
Non-Stop actually unfolds a clever story, and it is awesome. It worked so hard to justify itself that it was aggressively stupid, and it didn’t even need a reason.
You know my rule is: the only explanation a movie ever needs is “because it’s awesome.” Well, Unknown is what happens when explanations go wrong. It was from the team that made Unknown, producer Joel Silver, director Jaume Collet-Serra and star Liam Neeson.
