Beyond political correctness. It's far left fascism.



A review from John Nolte 1 Mar 2014


**SPOILER ALERT** Most of the suspense and therefore enjoyment of Liam Neeson's new action thriller "Non Stop" comes from trying to figure out who the villain is and why this person is doing what he or she is doing. If you read the rest of this article, it will spoil the entire movie for you. Period. You have been warned.

There is no question that "Non-Stop" is a well-made, involving, not-terribly-dumb action-thriller that delivers plenty of suspense and endears Liam Neeson further into the heart of those of us who love well-made, involving, not-terribly-dumb action-thrillers. "Non-Stop" is a good movie. Heck, it is darn near very good. But the left-wing sucker punch at the end is a new low, even for Hollywood.

Here come the spoilers. You have been warned.

On an international flight over the Atlantic, burnt-out alcoholic flight marshal Bill Marks (Neeson) is hoping for a nice easy flight in first class where after sneaking a smoke and drink he might even be able to catch a little shut-eye. A text message informing him that one person on the flight will die every twenty-minutes unless $150 million is wired to an account, ruins that plan.

Counting pilots and crew, there are around 150 souls on board. Marks has 20 minutes to figure out which one is the bad guy. Red herrings abound. Is it one of the many actors whose faces we recognize but names we can't remember? People start to die. Marks is fingered as the hijackert. Who's doing this? Why are they doing this? What is their motive?

Here's the answer:

It turns out that the villain is not a hijacker but a terrorist -- someone who wants to murder everyone on the plane to further a political goal.

You ready…?

The terrorist is a 9/11 family member. Yes, you read that right; the terrorist is a 9/11 family-member who lost a loved-one in the World Trade Center on that terrible September morning.

It gets worse…

After 9/11, this 9/11 family member-turned-terrorist then joined the military but found himself disillusioned by the pointless wars.

And now…

The 9/11 family member-turned-terrorist is upset because America hasn’t done enough to ensure there will never be another 9/11. And so he figures that if he can get an air marshal blamed for a terrorist attack, America will wake up and anally probe us before we're allowed on a plane, or something.

It gets worse…

The villain's sidekick is a member of the American military willing to murder 150 innocent people for a payday.

It gets worse…

The one passenger on the plane who is forever helpful, kind, reasonable, noble, and never under suspicion is a Muslim doctor dressed in traditional Muslim garb including a full beard.

Screw you, Hollywood.

Thank you. I wasn't going to see this anyway. You just confirmed my doubts. The next $16 that I spend will be because of you. Half a tank of free gas today.

No longer on my to see list.

Completeu agree I did enjoy the film but when you found out the baddies and the motives I was like wtf.

Though I lean liberal, I'd have to agree (from what you said) that it's a load of crap. I get tired of Hollywood shoving their Ultra Liberal views on everyone.

Woah, ONE film in 90 years of movie industry where the muslim isn't a villain ? Curse you and your liberal propaganda, Hollywood !!!

reply

Not only that, but the guy WAS definitely suspected, and at more than one point! Did the OP even pay attention to the movie or is this just copypasta from elsewhere? Tsk tsk.

reply

He was suspected because they had marked him on the passenger manifest for using a phone.
But you knew this of course, and only posted your comment to further the culturalmarxist agenda. Tsk tsk.

reply

Keep spreading the word. That way when I go to the movie, I won't bump into any right-wing morons like yourself.

reply

Wow, you must be a real killjoy at parties.

It's a Liam Neeson action movie. Stop overthinking it and enjoy it for what it is. I thought it was really entertaining.

reply

I love when people are offended when tMuslims are made to look good.

But the Iraq War was pointless. The end.
