Non-Stop (2014)

Liam Neeson's latest action flick takes place within the confines of a plane.  The premise is intense, it's actually near-genius.  The possibility of the plane coming down constantly looms over Neeson.  The first half of the film is exhilarating, exciting.  But then it starts to go downhill into absurdity.  Without giving away too much, the resolution is unsatisfactory.

Perhaps the film's most egregious error is its waste of very fine actors.  Oscar winner Lupita Nyongo might just be the biggest actress of the year.  And yet, she has no more than 5 lines in the entire film.
