This one just didn't live up to my expectation of a Neeson film and I was disappointed. Like with some of his other films, there are too many things that could go wrong and change the story drastically and the ending is rather anticlimactic and a bit of a letdown.
I think some of the problems may have been Director Jaume Collet-Serra ( The Shallows). The supporting cast is fine but without any real standouts. Farmiga was interesting though and different from her other roles. There was one point I fully expected for Neeson to speak into the phone and say, "I have a particular set of skills" Yes, that's right, we've seen some version this character before. It also drags onto long and in particular moment I had a flashback to the 1994 movie Speed (you'll know it when you see it). Is disappointing and the special effects were nothing special to write home about. A "whodunit" mystery that initially peaks the viewer's interest ends up with too many plot twists to have any semblance of anything based on reality. What starts out as an interesting script and a seemingly unique story gets convoluted and implausible the more it goes along.
#THE COMMUTER FULL MOVIE YOU TUBE HOW TO#
He used all of his cop training to analyze and deduce and eventually learned not only who Prin was but how to save their life while keeping his family safe. When MacCauley realized there was something sinister going on he wanted out but Joanna's people threatened his family and there was no turning back. He needed to find "Prin" – a day rider who had something in their bag that they had stolen. Once he takes the $25,000 hidden in the bathroom vent he is "all in". Then he loses his phone and gets on the train home where he is approached by "Joanna" (Vera Farmiga Bates Motel) who poses a not so hypothetical question – what if you did one little thing that would have an impact someone on the train but you would have no idea how". He has a wife and a teenage son heading off to college in a few months and his life is pretty mundane and boring until one day when he gets fired. MacCauley is an ex-cop who sells life insurance and commutes on the Metro-North line from Westchester County New York into Manhattan. It's rather redundant until one day when it isn't. Ten years of the same old, same old and Michael MacCauley (Liam Neeson Taken) is a part of that grind. Nothing much changes from one day to the next and nothing exciting ever really happens. They leave their nice little homes in the suburbs, get on a train into Manhattan, go to work in some high rise building all day, get back on the train, and head home back to the suburbs. Millions of people everyday doing the same thing over and over again.
