Non-Stop

When using my inner Lifetime movie rating scale of 1 - 10, this movie gets an eight. It wasn't the usual formula movie I've come to expect from Lifetime, and while it wasn't necessarily realistic, it held my interest. I usually put on a Lifetime movie while I crochet so that I don't really have to concentrate on the movie, but I sat and watched this one all the way thru. I thought the lead actress did a nice job and was a strong asset to the movie. The stewardess cracked me up, kind of the stewardess from hell for a nine hour flight and added some comic relief. I've missed the better movies Lifetime used to present back when actresses like Valerie Bertanelli were a staple on the channel and I'm hoping this movie is a promise of more quality movies to come. If you watch it, though, don't waste any time trying to tie up the loose ends.

I'm embarrassed that i'm watching this piece of dreck. There are not a lot of choices for good TV during the holidays. but that is not an excuse. it is simply so extraordinarily bad that i can't turn away. i will not reveal any spoilers because i won't make it through the whole thing. but suffice it to say that Lacey Chabert's character -- is there a more boring actress on the face of the earth? -- boards a plane and immediately creepy things start to happen. they have already been happening but it escalates in the air.

but it's the things that aren't deliberately eery that bugged the crap out of me. this woman keeps wandering around the plane for various reasons, leaving her purse behind somewhere. she works on her laptop and then leaves that sitting there to wander around some more. she takes medication that a stranger insists she take. she lets the bitchy alcoholic flight attendant toss her smartphone in to the overhead bin without retrieving it later. all the commonsense things that a regular traveler would be careful about???? this complete idiot just ignores.

and of course she has helped a creepy man write a book about fascism and there have been threats against her and him but she still leaves her laptop unattended for anyone who might be plotting against her to pick up and do with it what he/she will.

it bugs the crap out of me for a story to be about fascism and treat the whole subject so lightly and stupidly. so i am going to stop watching this travesty. i just had to vent because i was hoping that it would just be not good while it is completely and utterly hopelessly terrible.

lady, go get your purse and your phone and your laptop and sit the freak down instead of walking around being a ridiculous victim.

This is a slightly comical airplane thriller. It's both deliberately and inadvertently funny almost laugh out loud so. Lacey Chabert stars as a publishing assistant in charge of a controversial manuscript. When bringing it with her on a flight to Europe she encounters some strange events and things and people go missing. Lacey is quite a good actress she just has to modulate her voice not to sound too silly.

The head stewardess is hilarious. Things are quite neatly done as you can expect. Worth one watch. Not bad for a lightweight lifetime thriller. This movie has the same name as the subsequent Liam Neeson big budget thriller that came out last year.

This movie is so badly put together that one wonders if the director was as drunk as the flight attendant. Nothing could make up for me losing 1 and 1/2 hours of my life. Neither the script nor the characters are natural in any way.

What stinker this was, this movie blew, but Lacey is hot.
