Michael MacCauley, a former police officer and now a hard-working life-insurance salesman and a caring family man, has been taking the commuter rail to New York for the past ten years. But, things will take an unexpected turn when, on one of his daily journeys, the cryptic passenger, Joanna, makes Michael a generous and tempting offer to locate a single commuter or face grave consequences. Is this a sick joke, or is this, indeed, a dangerous situation? Now, as Michael races against the clock to solve this wicked conundrum, everyone aboard is a suspect, in a deal that there is more than meets the eye. Can he decide in time who is the one? —Nick Riganas

Liam Neeson Pacing Up and Down A Train: The Movie
The first half of this was a gripping, highly entertaining action movie in a similar vein to Neeson's previous "Non-Stop". I really enjoyed that movie and I'm a huge Vera Farmiga fan. In fact, "The Commuter" has a phenomenal cast - it's just a shame their talents aren't put to better use.
At times, it seemed very tongue-in-cheek and self-aware of its stupidity, as jokes and one-liners would randomly appear in scenes where you werne't expecting it. Things just became so unbelievable though that I started to tune-out. It all just seemed to be Liam Neeson pacing up and down a train while random phones rang.
The insanity reached a peak once a major train derailment took place and all the passengers casually started doing a spot of interior decorating like nothing happened.
If you have seen "The Taking of Pelham 123", "Unstoppable" or "Under Siege 2", then you have seen better versions of this.
