The Commuter

Liam “I will find you, and I will kill you” Neeson is back. This is the kind of movie you’ve seen him do a billion times for the last decade. In that, it is very similar to Taken, Unknown and especially Non-Stop. This movie is essentially the final act of Batman Begins, but with the roles reversed. It’s okayish for the most part, but completely derails (yes, that terrible pun was intended) in its third act (pretty much like every Collet-Serra thriller), where it gets exposition heavy and stops making any sense. There are two or three camera tricks, one continuous fight scene that was pretty well done, and it’s somewhat engaging due to the mysterious nature of the plot. At the same time, it’s nowhere near as tense as the aforementioned clone of this movie (seriously, Non-Stop 2: The Unstoppable would’ve been a better title), too drawn out, and has no interesting characters besides Liam Neeson. 4.5 ^ But hey, it’s January, so that’s not too bad!

Solid Liam Neeson effort. The post credits are one of the coolest designs I've seen.
