Em um voo internacional de Nova York a Londres, a 40 mil pés de altitude, Marks recebe uma série de mensagens de texto em código, exigindo que a companhia aérea deposite US$ 150 milhões em uma conta corrente. Até que a transferência esteja garantida, um passageiro do voo morrerá a cada 20 minutos. (Paris Filmes)

A solid average that’s nothing to write home about. There’s an undeniable partial originality in terms of visuals (the text messages in the background, etc.) and in terms of the progression of the plot, when Liam Neeson, as a retired Marshall, falls into solid paranoia in the first act, but that's about it for anything truly interesting. And no, don't expect any action this time, this is not Taken. The only truly interesting fight is the opening one in the toilet, and it doesn’t get any better than that. On the other hand, what is not missing is the traditionally overblown ending and the digital landing.

Diz-se durante muito tempo que se os escritores não estragarem tudo, será um perfeito aero-thriller! Ritmo rápido, herói carismático, paranoia espessante e tensão crescente. Mas os argumentistas estragam tudo, e embora a tensão do filme dure muito tempo, ele perde gradualmente a sua seriedade e, no final, deixa-nos apenas a sorrir para mais uma porcaria de ação que vem mentalmente da década de 90 (Joel Silver, pois). Conselho para a vida: Quando todos no avião pensarem que é terrorista e a situação estiver a ficar terrível, diga-lhes que a sua filhinha morreu de cancro...

Um thriller de ação que após quinze minutos se transforma numa comédia absurda que ataca os neurónios do cérebro com reviravoltas completamente estúpidas, um enredo inverosímil e estereótipos clichés - ver os passageiros no avião, incluindo, é claro, um médico muçulmano com barba, uma menina que voa para ver o seu pai, amantes que tentam ter sexo no avião, um especialista em informática capaz de programar uma mensagem de vírus em oito minutos, e uma mulher que ganha toda a confiança do personagem principal apenas por se sentar ao seu lado. Liam Neeson é tradicionalmente o derradeiro badass, mas o seu oponente em forma de «terrorista invisível» teria de ser mil vezes mais badass para conseguir um plano tão sofisticado, baseado numa estimativa perfeita das reações do protagonista, numa perceção da situação perfeita e num número infinito de coincidências brutais. Pelo menos ainda há algo a acontecer graças ao ritmo imparável, e o trabalho de câmara dinâmico e as sequências de ação bem-feitas tornam agradável de o ver, mas trata-se apenas de uma treta de ação de pipocas descartável, que oferece uma arte de fazer filmes de qualidade e mais de cem minutos de diversão estúpida, mas também uma história tão disfuncional e ilógica que na realidade é quase interessante.

It’s a pity they screwed up the third act. Up until Neeson’s speech to the nervous passengers, this is a solidly tense thriller and I would have forgiven it anything, but after that scene the decent fun falls apart in such way that it becomes annoying. By the end everything is bad.

A dull echo of the 1990s, whose cardiogram will drive you straight to the pharmacy for medication. Serra and Neeson would clearly love to create a new stable of action movies combined with a paranoid thriller, but while in Unknown they didn't take a screenwriter to Berlin, the airline to London forgot the captain straight away. Serra uses a lackluster flywheel that leaves Neeson's abilities in economy mode, as well as the entire pace of the narrative. It has a unique gift for moving forward headlong, but it lacks more substantial highlights that would give me a reason to see it again. One men's rendezvous in the bathroom really won't cut it. Actually, this is the first film in which Liam's position as an action titan seemed a bit out of place. There is no non-stop perennial here.

I see that Liam Neeson can get himself mixed up in some great stories. After the movies Taken and Unknown, he completes his distinctive thriller trilogy with this very film. I just hope it’s not the end of the thriller genre for him, because I think he has found himself in those movies. And it doesn’t really matter that in this movie, he plays an aged alcoholic who shakes like a leaf at the thought of a stressful situation. Anyway, I can’t just talk about him all the time. The director has a great deal of credit for the high quality of this movie. If I decided to view this thriller as a crime investigation story, I’d think that everybody on the board of that plane was the killer. The camera shots of those people, their looks and even their behavior was exactly what I needed. Because I wasn’t sure about absolutely anything. And that’s why I really enjoyed this dynamic and tense movie.

B-movie shit that deals with its stupidity with an A-cast and ambitious emotional directing (after The Grey, Liam's pensive self-beautiful beginnings are probably becoming a tradition). The more refined the screenplay wants to be, it has to find that much more of a stupid and overcomplicated solution in a situation that makes no sense. That's because the screenwriters want you to knot your brain cells a little harder through a "big mystery". Were it not for the fact that the viewer can accept Neeson dramatically gargling of toilet disinfectant, this mannerist pretense of an intelligent thriller would be hardly bearable. This way, the stench pours out in the last ten minutes. But it is worth it. [55%]

Ninety minutes of pure "Hitchcock-like" genre enthusiasm. Why then only three stars? Because, after all, it has not only ninety minutes, but also a final fifteen minutes that leaves even an unsound mind standing still; let alone a sound one. From the speech on, everything is wrong. Everything.

The duo of Jaume Collet-Serra and Liam Neeson works very well for me. This is a proper thriller that hits the gas from the start and hurtles forward at a furious and unstoppable pace. It has a few twists and turns, surprises, there are a quantum of decent ideas and the finale is both technically and visually breathtaking. Once again, my favorite actor did not disappoint. Pure thrilling fun! 80%

Hitchcock with french fries. The first half works outstandingly, but gradually the lapses begin mounting up and by the finale it’s turned into a 90s air disaster movies the likes of Executive Decision or Air Force One. But the beginning is atmospheric, actors great, Liam Neeson continues to build his hard guy aura. Collet-Serra is a good filmmaker, but nobody wants to give him a decent screenplay, so for now he’s made friends with guns and Neeson. We can at least be pleased about that.

After a great introduction, I was full of hope and hoped that it wouldn't be spoiled... But it was. As time went on, the film became more and more futile, the various characters behaved more or less stupidly, and the repetitive "killer twenty minutes" started to look almost ridiculous as the filmmakers tried to cram in some action... By and large, Liam Neeson saved the day as the paranoid alcoholic, although he was given a much better opportunity in Unknown (not to mention the excellent The Grey). Yes, I was curious all the time with regard to "what, who, how and why", but sometimes something was just so evident that I couldn't miss it. Three and a half.__P.S. My favorite composer John Ottman unpleasantly surprised me with the bland music, which is a pity.

Liam Neeson has found his niche as the character of an aging alcoholic desperately fighting for a good cause, and I can’t say I’m not a fan. This time it was not enough for four stars, though. The logical inconsistencies and melodramatic-clichéd speeches were too much for me. Having said that, I wasn’t bored, and the cast was great, so a 3*+.

An excellent thriller that gradually runs out of ideas, and it becomes clear that it just wants to get to the end. Liam Neeson excels again as an action hero, except for the strong emotional speech, which was clearly dictated by the screenwriters. Otherwise, I have to say that I enjoyed the film due to its palpable tension, which was very gripping. It’s not sustained throughout, but you'll find yourself rooting for Liam the whole time.
