Am I Missing Something?
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
View MoreIf you have so many time to waste to watch this because of the trailer of this movie trying to attract you to watch this movie so I do but after watching this movie I really hate the direction of this movie. Story was so nice but the way director was direct that the worse part of this movie.I don't recommend you guys to watch this movie.
View More"The Commuter" is about a 60-year-old man whose repetitive life is interrupted by a time-sensitive mystery on a train that threatens the lives of all the passengers aboard. He receives instructions to solve this mystery by Vera Farmiga. If I hadn't known better, I might've thought I was watching a reworking of "Source Code" (2011). After all, the opening credits sequence shows Liam Neeson going through the same basic routine everyday, which always results with him commuting to and from work--plus train, plus Farmiga. But, no, instead, it's "Non-Stop" (2014), with the same star, with the twist being he's on a train this time rather than a plane.I miss the simplicity of the "Taken" series and the more-acceptable logic that a former CIA operative would have "a very particular set of skills" that would allow him to kick butt even as he enters the age of a senior citizen. In "Non-Stop," at least, he's still a federal air marshal, but, now, in "The Commuter," he's a former insurance salesman and even-more-former police officer. Talk about straining credulity. Most people, including police officers, go their entire lives without ever having the athleticism and combat skills of Neeson's salesman. If they do continue this path until Neeson's character bounces out of his wheelchair without an ounce of combat training in his past careers to beat up guys half his age or younger, then I hope the plots aren't as convoluted as this one.And Farmiga is not in her mid-30s, as the police captain suggests. If audiences can accept the premise of an elderly man leaping between railroad cars like he's prime Michael Jordan, then I think they can accept that a mid-40s-aged woman is attractive.

View MoreLove Neeson but The Commuter has one of the most ridiculous plots I have ever seen, even for an action film. Nothing make sense, literally, NOTHING: 1) The nemesis, Joanna (played by Farmiga), who is off the train, seem to know every single move MacCauley (played by Neeson) made throughout the entire event, she was always able to call him at the exact moment each critical task was completed, how did she pull it off? No logical explanation is ever given to the audience2) It's even more ridiculous, when Joanna called MacCauley to witness through the train window, a random passenger Walt (played by Banks), who just got off the train, being shoved in front of a bus, because MacCauley stealthily slipped Walt a note asking him to contact the police. How did Joanna find out? We don't know. How could Joanna time the whole sequence of events so perfectly (sent her accomplice after Walt, anticipate there will be a bus coming, anticipate MacCauley has a straight line of sight to see Walt being pushed on a street at least a block away from the train platform, how does she know Walt will even take that route, ...), we don't know.3) Train derailed at 70 m/hr., but all windows intact, none of the remaining passengers seemed to have a scratch4) After the train derailed, none of the passengers seemed too eager to get off the train. And they weren't being held hostage5) While being surrounded by scores of police + FBI agents, a rogue police officer Murphy (played by Wilson), stepped onto the train, pretending to negotiate for hostage release, but with real intent to kill the witness. Keep in mind, there are at least 10 passengers on the train at the time, and the police seem to be using some sort of heat-signature technology to watch every movement inside the train car. So what is the end game here? Does Murphy intent to commit mass murder to eliminate all passengers, while FBI is watching outside? If not, how does he intend to get away with murder if the rest of passengers just saw him kill the witness? 6) Why the FBI send the witness on the train, instead of picking her up? Won't that put the witness in unnecessary danger? 7) If the rogue and "powerful" organization know exactly where the FBI will pick up the witness (Cold Spring), won't it be easier just send a hitman squad to kill the witness + FBI agents at destination? Why even bother to derail a train and kill everyone on board? Both carry a death sentence anywayHow? How? How? How? How? How? How? How?
