'Non-Stop' does everything it can to keep the plot moving as fast as the plane it’s in

Those seeking iron-clad plausibility should look elsewhere, but 'Non-Stop' does have its share of unanticipated sequences as well as Neeson's forcefulness

Scott Tobias, The Dissolve

'Non-Stop' moves along at a fast-pace, and while it's often goofy, it's always fun

Chris Bumbray, JoBlo.com

Finally a movie that is akin to having teeth pulled

Aubrey D'souza, BookMyShow
