its worth a watch. the film is a little disjointed but they manage to 'land the plane' (not a spoiler, an expression) in the third act. It was meant to be a background film while i was doing something else but it managed to hold my attention.

Did Liam Neeson already star in a movie like this called 'Non-stop', but this time it's a train, not a plane. It's even got the same director, Jaume Collet-Serra.

Jaume Collet-Serra is becoming one of the most reliable genre directors in Hollywood today. His latest film, The Commuter, is another solid thriller with an always watchable Liam Neeson playing yet another everyman protagonist caught up in a sinister conspiracy while on his daily commute by train. The movie makes good use of the confined spaces onboard a passenger train. The third act is pretty silly but like in other films by Collet-Serra, it's earned it.

The Commuter is EXACTLY what I thought it would be. You've probably seen some of Jaume Collet-Serra's other work (Unknown, Non-Stop, etc.), so you would know he basically makes Harrison Ford movies starring Liam Neeson with Hitchcockian premises in the style of 1980's Polanski, and they're all quite enjoyable. This film is no exception, and may be his best yet. The momentum dies somewhat near the end, but for 80% of its runtime this is a classic, no-holds-barred thriller. A good lazy afternoon movie.
