Review of The Commuter (2018) by Tvjerry — 26 Jan 2018

Liam Neeson continues his streak as the mature action hero. He plays an insurance salesman who commutes to NYC. When a mysterious woman asks him to perform a seemingly simple task, it unfolds a maze of lethal encounters, most of which take place on the train.

The machinations of the plot are sometimes baffling, but there are regular action beats to keep up interest (the highlight is the spectacular train derailment). The film is adequately made and mildly involving, but the sometimes confusing story strains credibility and undermines the potential tension.
