If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
The Commuter is the latest action thriller starring Liam Neeson. In a film in which he portrays a character he has done many times before, as he knows how to entertain audiences. The Commuter is a quick and simple, yet thrilling and suspenseful action film. From the same director as other previous Liam Neeson films (Non Stop, and Run the Night), this film does what its expected. Which is to entertain and deliver several scenes and moments of suspense. Although somewhat predictable in the end, The Commuter is still a great ride and worth the watch.
I usually like Liam movies, but this one was a little over the top. It was not bad, but he is supposedly a 60 year old guy that takes on these younger guys and kicks their ass.
While I got what I wanted out of this movie, some time to zone out and be entertained there were a lot of things wrong with this movie that I found I kept having to tell myself to let go which pulls you out of the story at least temporarily.I thought the opening sequence was pretty cool, they show Michael (Liam) going to work each day over the course of seems like a year or more with quick cuts but the Liam stays in frame so he kind of stays constant while his surroundings change to show the passage of time. This was too predictable for me, they tried to get you off the scent by introducing some of the characters but I had a pretty good idea who was the baddy right away. Unless I missed it we never find out who is the top baddies or really why they are doing what they do, in some cases this wouldn't matter so much but it left this movie feeling rushed and shallow. The fight scenes were a little repetitive and Liam's character takes every form of beating and just shrugs it off, he gets pepper sprayed (kind of accidental like) and in seconds is able to use a napkin or something and is okely dokely. Even John Maclain walked with a bit of a limp at the end of Die Hard - 60 year old Michael just brushes it off. The acting was pretty good all around, it did leave you wondering at times just how was a baddy and how many were there. But all in all it was like lighting a match the action lasts for a short time then its gone and discarded. If you are a completionist and HAVE to watch this movie to say you saw every Neeson flick out there then it won't be too painful to sit through and watch, if you paid money and expected a Taken kind of movie you will probably be dissapointed. You want a flick that has the good guys fighting the bad guys watch The Equalizer its more fun than this movie.
This man never aged, I'm always excited to watch his movies
