A lavishly produced film about an Irish-American commuter called MacCauley : Liam Neeson who becomes involved into a twisted threat while he is going to his daily commute home . This passenger is an insurance salesman , ex-cop who has to confront dangerous enemies to save himself and his family . As every passenger is a piece of a puzzle and he has to solve who is the killer and whom goes to murder . Lives are on the line ! . His life on the line !
Thrilling and nail-biting movie with noisy action , shootouts , spectacular scenes , fights , violence and amazing finale . From start to finish the fractic action , twists and turns are continuous . As always , Liam Neeson is very good as the ex-cop and fired insurance agent who is caught-up in a risked conspiracy with fateful consequences . And second and third billing for Vera Farmiga as a suspicious passenger who contacts with him and Elizabeth MacGovern as his wife in spite of they have short screen time . Liam is well accompanied by attractive secondaries , most of them are train passengers as Clara Lago, Florence Pugh , Jonathan Banks , Andy Newman , Shazad Latif, Killian Scott , Sam Neill as a Police chief , Patrick Wilson as a cop friend , among others.
Colorful and glimmer cinematography by Paul Cameron , shot on aboard and actual train using steadicam and green screens , at times . The musician Roque Baños composes a moving and rousing musical score fitting perfectly to the frenetic action . The motion picture was well produced and directed by Jaume Collet Serra , though it has similarities with others films formerly realized . This Spanish filmmaker is an expert director of terror movies as "Orphan" , "House of Wax" and "The River" series , as well as specialist in thrillers , most of them starred by Liam Neeson as "Unknown" , "Run all night" and "Non-stop" , the latter bears remarkable resemblance to this "The Commuter" . Rating : 7.5/10 . Better than average . Essential and indispensable watching for Liam Neeson fans and thriller enthusiasts.
