The Commuter is the latest Liam Neeson action-thriller, in which he plays a man on a train who is offered a large amount of money to find another passenger who does not belong.
I could just write "Liam Neeson on a train" and you would know exactly how much or little you would like this film. Personally, I really enjoyed it.
There is enough good action and suspense in the film for me to find it entertaining. It isn't trying to do anything more than that, and it succeeds in doing so. That said, the opening is actually quite good; where you see the repetitive nature of Neeson's mornings and get some good exposition on his character and his family. Which contrasts greatly with the ending.
I knew where the film was going to go at the end as soon as a certain character was introduced. And there is a shot in the trailer, which I hated every time I saw it, which shows too much. So if you've not seen the trailer but want to: turn it off after Vera Farmiga says "You have until next stop to decide what kind of person are you."
In short: It's Liam Neeson on a train.
