Review of The Commuter (2018) by Aproxx — 19 Aug 2018

I don't watch Liam Neeson action flicks.

I totally get why people like (or love) him, so Im not against people being fan of him. I don't find that dumb or ridiculous. My fav action actor is Jason Statham though, and he's movies are enough to satisfy my action flick apetite.

But then the trailer drops and Vera Farmiga is here making the pitch to Neeson. Vera Farmiga is just good at everything. So when I assumed she was going to be prominent as the villain in the movie I was hyped. The concept of the movie is great. Kind of a Detective Conan (the anime) episode, where you have to figure it our who of this people its the bad guy and then what to do with the "offer". And that was awesome for about 25 minutes and then the movie turns into a brainless action flick. In the end there are "twists" in the mystery of exactly what happened and who is who. But its after alot of brainless stuff, so it doesn't feel earned and honestly I didn't care much.

But I was entertained all the way through and it had the good start and fine finish for this one not to be just mediocre.
