Before I start on this review proper, buckle up for a not-so-brief history of how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (from now on referred to as BVS) came to be. It'll help you understand why BVS rubbed me wrongly from the get-go, and why I went into it with derisive feelings. My friend accused me of being biased against the film, and so even if it was good, I wouldn't say so, but that's not true. *If* it was good, I would admit it -- in tones of absolute surprise, yes, but I would.

If you like conspiracy thrillers like Flightplan and Unknown, and action movies like Taken, you'll surely like Non-Stop, which melds all these genres in a film put together specially for Liam Neeson, the star of the latter two movies. A Hitchcockian thriller set in the confines of an airplane, Non-Stop keeps you on the edge of your seat wondering whodunit, whydunit, howdunit, what-on-earth-is-it, and coming up with some fairly ludicrous theories along the way in your bid to preempt the reveal.
