Johnny Berchtold and Kyle Gallner leave a trail of destruction in the rearview mirror in The Passenger. Vin Diesel and Aquaman star Jason Momoa face off in Fast X.

Non-Stop Official Trailer #1 (2014) - Liam Neeson Thriller HD

The action moves to the not-so-friendly skies in Jaume Collet-Serra’s starring Liam Neeson as a federal air marshal who must find a killer on board a passenger flight from New York to London. The A.V. Club’s : “Part locked-room mystery, part political allegory, Non-Stop is one of the most purely enjoyable entries in the ongoing cycle of Liam Neeson action-thrillers, tempering the star’s gruff strongman antics with surveillance-state commentary that’s more clever than subversive.”

    I watched Landscape with Invisible Hand last night. What a film. I don’t even really know how to describe it. It’s not a comedy but it’s frequently funny. It’s very human-focused sci-fi, pretty thought-provoking. I was very much into it, even though it was fairly uneven.
