  1. 80
    Sabu takes an already wildly original concept and launches it toward brilliance.
  2. Cleverly structured, with a slam-bam score and style to burn.
  3. 75
    Fresh, fast and funny movie.
  4. 75
    With very little dialogue and through what's essentially a gimmick, we come truly to like these guys.
  5. A reminder of the offbeat comic sensibility and visceral charge that marked him (Sabu) as a director to watch.
  6. 70
    All this artful violence won't change your life, but Non-Stop is a satisfying quickie.
  7. A breathless dash to nowhere in particular, doesn't feel bad.
  8. Definitely worth checking out.
  9. Simply an endurance contest, one almost worth staying the 82 minutes to see who wins.
  10. This tragicomic tale doesn't have the supercharged brilliance of "Run Lola Run," which it occasionally resembles, but it's certainly fast-moving and action fans should enjoy it.
  11. Never rises above the level of its gimmick.

    Give this Japanese import points for originality, but not much else.

    The lengthiest foot chase in film history.

    The accidental beating and killing of innocent people satirizes "Pulp Fiction," or is this Sabu's homage to Tarantino?
  15. 30
    Exceedingly slow setup and even more tediously static sequence that effectively terminates the movie well before its official running time.
  16. 20
    It doesn't add up to much more than a trifle that might have been more impressive as a short.
