Flashback Friday: Liam Neeson & Bad Goodbyes
Every Friday I dig into the archives and dust off an old post. If you haven’t read it, it’s new to you!
Last weekend part of the Franks family picked up Non Stop from our local Redbox. If you’re not familiar with this latest cinematic hit, it contains two great actors of non-American origin: Liam Neeson, best known for showing up in movies in order to bring sudden death to many people, and Lady Mary, best known for taking the summers off from Downton Abbey so she can be a flight attendant on Non Stop.
The movie started off pretty promising. There was a great premise: a U.S. air marshall is set up to look like he’s hijacking a plane. People die every 20 minutes (thank you Liam Neeson). Text messages keep coming to the air marshall’s phone. Lady Mary frowns and looks concerned a lot. And yet no one can figure out who’s behind the attack.
Eventually Liam Neeson kills enough people that the cast gets narrowed down to the real bad guy, but unfortunately the cocaine-enshrouded bomb is only minutes away from going off (I may have skipped a few major plot points). And then…
