Full Review (Spoilers)

The Commuter brings all of the typical Liam Neeson flare as his other projects like Non-Stop and Taken. There’s nothing special about the plot besides Neeson needing to get his family back. After a while you will just train your brain to enjoy it for the action and stop trying to make sense of it all. If you do that then you will have a great time. Only watch this movie if you’re a die-hard Liam Neeson fan.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d give the plot something more than Neeson needing to get his family back, so it holds up when you think about it.
