Empire magazine didn't particularly like this one and the 'I' newspaper was kind of "...meh.."
Graham on the other hand thoroughly enjoyed it. Me? Well I was more in "...meh.." camp.
Ok, firstly let's synopsosise. Mr Neeson plays a 'down on his luck', US Marshall on board a flight to London when he receives a text informing him that "in 20 mins someone's gonna die if £15000000000000 is not transferred into a nominated back account".. (I may have exaggerated the figure there but it had 15 in it..) Throw in some twists and turns, a bit of suspense and a couple of red herrings and you know the story.. And at the time I kind of enjoyed it... It's not until now that I've sat down, and started to analyse it that I can see the holes.. In fact lets not dwell on that... Actually I can't stop dwelling on that.. And there in lies the problem. At the time is was throwaway fun but the more I think about it.. And I won't mention the scene about 2/3rd's of the way through were Liam opens his heart to the passengers. It made me cringe rather that feel any sympathy for him .. Sorry, I just mentioned it.. Anyway, you can see where this is going..
Ok, rating **1/2..
