In “Non-Stop,” Liam Neeson stars as an air marshal on a New York-to-London flight who starts receiving text messages from someone on the plane threatening to kill one of the passengers every 20 minutes until $150 million is wired to a bank account.

The Kevin Costner action movie feels like something Liam Neeson was too busy to make. Given the month’s incredibly low standards, though, it’s everything a February movie should be.
The anticipated remake of “RoboCop” is technically better than the 1987 film, but the fun is gone as it stuggles with ethics.
OK, so that’s probably not going to happen. But the new animated offering is polling as high or higher than every current best-picture nominee at Rotten Tomatoes.
With a cast toplined by writer-director George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and John Goodman, it’s the “Ocean’s Eleven” of regular-guys-trying-to-save-priceless-works-of-art-from-Nazis-and-Russians movies. So why isn’t “The Monuments Men” more fun?
