Review of The Commuter (2018) by Rpotter1000 — 20 Nov 2022

I’m late to the the “retired Liam Neeson with skills” movie genre, but I’m finally trying to get caught up. (This is my second one. I just watched a Walk among the Tombstones, which was also good, but that was more of a more grounded psychological thriller.).

Commuter was a really good time. I could see some people being thrown off by it because it starts off like an actually good movie, and then it kind of gets sillier and more ridiculous and becomes a bit of a howl at the screen kind of ridiculous fun action movie.

If that’s your kind of thing, then the Commuter is really good. Just a very minor spoiler: it’s not like a Jason Statham movie. Liam’s character is not a highly skilled former navy seal or assassin or something. Just a cop who can hold his own. Still the action and the fighting are fun.
