In addition to working with Neeson on four films, director Collet-Serra helmed his early work, the so-wrong-it’s-right Orphan (co-starring Farmiga) and the surprise hit from two years ago, The Shallows. His job is to find someone with a particular name that “doesn’t belong” before they get off at a certain stop, tag that person with a tracking device, and walk away. She also seems acutely aware of his skills as a detective and the fact that he’s a regular on this train.

Before she leaves the train, she makes it clear this is not a random encounter and that if he takes the money, he’s committed to the job or his family will pay the price. Once on the train, he is approached by a stranger named Joanna (Vera Farmiga), who proposes what at first seems like a hypothetical test about doing one small thing involving another passenger that could potentially net him $100,000 cash. But eventually, he leaves the bar and heads back to the train station. A former police officer, he meets his best friend Alex Murphy (Patrick Wilson and yes, his character’s name is the same as the one Peter Weller played in Robocop) for drinks, bemoaning his situation and the fact that he’s afraid to tell his wife (Elizabeth McGovern) when he goes home. On this particular day, his Michael MacCauley unceremoniously loses his job as an insurance salesman right when his family is especially cash strapped. He’s been riding this line for 10 years, so he’s gotten to know the faces (and even a few names) of some of the other riders to and from the city. Instead of a plane, this time around Neeson is on a commuter train heading from downtown New York City into the suburbs. If I’m doing my math right, this is the fourth collaboration between Neeson and Spanish-born director Jaume Collet-Serra, who also made Unknown, Run All Night and, most important to this conversation, Non-Stop, to which The Commuter is remarkably similar in it’s “trapped on a mode of transportation” scenario. But the set up is phenomenal and the mystery at its center is actually quite effective, before the film becomes insane and implausible…well, more implausible than it already is.

I’m in no way saying that Neeson’s latest, The Commuter, is a great movie.

And every January, there’s usually a Liam Neeson movie tossed in the mix as well occasionally, they’re just bizarre enough to be enjoyable. In fact, if you look at the lineup for your local multiplex, there are likely at least a dozen truly great titles from which you may select. As the seasoned moviegoers that I’m sure most of you are, you don’t need me telling you that the month of January has long been considered a dumping ground for bottom-of-the-barrel junk that the various distributors are well aware will be largely ignored by the public, as they’re likely scrambling to catch up with end-of-year, awards-season titles from the end of 2017.
