The Commuter

I don't expect much from a movie like this. As soon as you read the description and see who's in it, you know what you're getting into. I'd appreciate it if it wasn't so easily to pull at the threads and unravel the movie (Liam Neeson's character needed to be an ex-cop so he had the investigative skills to do a certain task, but any ex-cop would've had enough alarm bells going off to drown out a nuclear blast), but it is what it is. The Commuter exists for some vague level of intrigue and enough plot to string together action sequences. You don't watch a movie like this for the details; you watch it for stimulation of the lizard brain, and to that effect, it does the job just as well as so many others of its ilk, not as good as some, and better than others. If you never see it, you won't miss anything, and if you watch it, it'll keep your attention as long as its running and not a moment more.
