Airplane heist movies aren’t
exactly in short supply, so we know going in that director Jaume Collet-Serra’s
got lots of hurdles to jump with NON-STOP.
So many aircraft capers and
crises have already been turned into blockbusters—redone, recycled, spat out and
spoofed in flicks like AIRPORT (and its sequels), AIRPLANE!, DIE HARDER, FLIGHT
93, EXECUTIVE DECISION, and FLIGHT PLAN. We’ve already witnessed so many hijackings,
bombings, poisonings, and crash-landings at the cinema that Hollywood’s
got us half-convinced that we too could survive these scenarios if they befell
us.
Heck, even NON-STOP star Liam
Neeson already braved one of the most horrific plane crashes in modern film in his
recent survival epic THE GREY.
How do you top all that?
