The Commuter is about a businessman who gets caught up in a criminal conspiracy aboard a train.
Jaume Collet-Serra is not a household name by anyone's standard. He's mostly made non-blockbuster or really rememberable films. I mean he did The Shallows and Orphan, but not many people have seen those. The direction isn't bad but it's nothing special.
The writers are having their first crack at a movie except for Ryan Engle who also wrote Non-Stop, another Liem Neeson movie. He's also writing the upcoming Dwayne Johnson movie Rampage. The dialogue is really weird, it's like playing dungeons and dragons with an ill-prepared dungeon master. I suppose that's a really specific and not easily understood reference. It's as if an alien came from outer space, learned English and then tried to have a conversation with people from Boston.
Liam Neeson isn't the same character he was in Taken but he acts and fights like he is. He makes decisions an everyday person wouldn't. His accent isn't really explained but at this point, it doesn't matter. Neeson does his best to act through what lines he was given.
Result: C (There are really some flaws in the dialogue but it's still a decent action flick.)
