In this tale of Air Marshal Bill Marks (Neeson), who in midflight receives text messages warning that someone onboard will be killed every 20 minutes unless $150 million is wired into an electronic account, nagging plot questions pop up at a rate faster than the bodies drop.

Such as: Who is allowed to text at 40,000 feet? How does a corpse in a toilet room on a crowded flight remain undetected for six hours? What sort of signal delivers a New York City news station to a plane flying over Iceland?

Like a classic or rote whodunit, Non-Stop establishes a dozen or so early possible killers, all obvious stereotypes. Aside from the frequent flyer (Julianne Moore, playing more or less the Vera Farminga role in Up in the Air) who insists on sitting next to Marks, you get the skull-shaved hothead (Corey Stoll), the nerdy businessman (Scott McNairy), the strangely quiet Muslim (Omar Metwally) and the angry black dude (Nate Parker).

Maybe the pilot (Jason Butler Harner) is the miscreant, or the friendly stewardess (Downton Abbey‘s Michelle Dockery). Each gets to cast a glowering or guilt-streaked glance Marks’ way, until the viewer begins to suspect all of them. Why couldn’t it be the sweet little girl (Quinn McColgan) traveling alone, who reminds Marks of his late daughter? Maybe she’s back from the grave, seeking airborne revenge.
