British Aqualantic Flight Ten

Secondly, Non-stop exhibits an exceptional use of their setting even though it may have been difficult. What do I mean by this? Well, considering that ninety-five percent of the movie was filmed on an airplane, the cast and crew were able to execute their limited amount of setting flawlessly. The film starts out with Neeson in his car right outside of the airport, he proceeds to exit his car and enter the JFK airport in New York City. From then on, the filming is restricted and can only take place on the actual flight, British Aqualantic Flight ten. Each individual who was associated with the making of Non-stop did a phenomenal job at making sure that each centimeter of the airplane is utilized effectively. For example, there is even an entire scene just in the plane's restroom due to a body being found there. Also, they were able to keep the suspense high at all times which didn't allow for the audience to get bored of the setting. Personally, I was more focused on who might get killed next than the fact that the scenery was still the same as ten minutes ago. In fact, the scenery not changing boosted the suspense to a new level. I think this because in most action movies, the antagonist can escape to far away lands, making it more difficult to be captured by the protagonist. However, in Non-stop, there is no where to run, and no where to hide. For example, Bill Marks(Neeson) says,
"We're midway across the Atlantic. How do you kill someone in a crowded plane and get away with it?" Which is a perfect depiction of the suspenseful situation that the cast is having to deal with on a single airplane. Therefore, making the simple setting of an airplane truly exceptional.
