The Commuter


It’s described as a thriller but its really just a conventional Hollywood action movie in which Liam Neeson, who’s obviously had facial work, has to track down a mystery person on his daily train commute and put a tracking device on them so he can earn lotsa money which will come in handy as he’s just been fired from his desk job despite years of loyal service and his son’s about to start college. Then later he has to kill the mystery person who might be innocent but he might still have to do it because the baddies have got his wife and son at their mercy. The plot is full of holes and there’s way too much action and not enough suspense. Liam Neeson is still nice to look at despite his funny new eyes. Meh.
