Another Neeson actioner which this time sees the big fella striding around the confines of a passenger plane and muscling his way through an intriguing premise. Yet again, he's a world weary everyman with issues.The rest of the cast provides good support - with Dockery and Moore being particularly fine foils.
What a shame then that the final act goes completely to pot with the villain's motivations being left at best poorly explained and at worst utterly baffling. It really needed a Mr Big style conspiracy to anchor it all, but that would required Neeson's character to take them down in an extended coda.
Verdict: Intense thriller on a plane that fails to land.
