The Commuter is Non-Stop on a train, as it comes from the same director and also stars Liam Neeson.
Again, he’s taking directions from someone over the phone to do some bad stuff, but this time, he knows who’s asking, as he’s met them on the seat opposite in a ridiculoudly over-CGI’d train carriage. You can tell it’s not First North Western, as those trains are a shithole.
Talking of shitholes, remember when Liam Neeson movies used to be good? That was a long time ago. If this film is worth any more than a 4/10 from me, I’ll be very surprised.
The Commuter is released in the UK on January 19th, 2018, and since January/February is always the dumping ground for terrible non-awards movies, you know how this will fare. Then again, Taken 3 was released in the same slot in 2015, and that made a fortune.
