The Commuter
Liam Neeson doing what Liam Neeson does.
8/10 score . Kept you going trying to spot the clues. Funny in places.

Re: The Commuter
I thought this was awful. The only thing missing was the usual speech from Taken -- "I don't know who you are are....but I will kill you". C'mon Liam Neeson -- let's see you in something worth seeing.

Re: The Commuter
Agreed. It was very samey. Very Taken. Talk about typecast. However, as a thriller I was duly thrilled. So I was entertained and happy. Not one for the DVD collection though, and no Oscar Wildes for this either.

Re: The Commuter
Spent the majority of this incredibly daft but moderately entertaining Neeson/Collet-Serra New York set thriller distracted by the sheer amount of Brit actors playing Neeson's fellow commuters (ooh look it's Andy Nyman, that's Clem Fandango/Ash Tyler from Star Trek Discovery, and now there's Lady Macbeth, and Augustus Dove from Ripper Street, the guy from a The Fast Show sketch with Felix Dexter, the warden from Paddington 2 etc, etc).
As suspected, the end credits revealed that a lot of it was done at Pinewood studios.
Still it kept my mind off the many many plot holes and implausibilities, so that's something.

Re: The Commuter
I was surprised at how entertained I found this.
It kept my attention right to the end.

Re: The Commuter
Totally ridiculous but fun nevertheless.
Saw it in IMAX which in all honesty was a bit pointless given that most of the action took place on the train.
Had to laugh at the
moment.
Is Liam Neeson becoming the modern day equivalent of Charles Bronson ? At least the lead in the upcoming Death Wish remake as already been taken.

Re: The Commuter
Hilarious action comedy. Liam Neeson in Taken 47! Still, enjoyed it as action fluff in the season of worthy films. Kept me entertained and cheered me up.
