You know what to expect – a fast pace, good action, that Neeson growl, and some amusing corniness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2022

If the film is mostly disposable and too familiar, the initial face-to-face encounter between Neeson and Farmiga proves that talented actors can make lousy writing sound better. But that single moment is hardly enough to justify the rest.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 16, 2022

If I wish that Neeson had an opportunity to show more gravitas in the throes of his sweaty unravelling, I recognize this is partly my disappointment that we didn't get his Unforgiven before he put this side of himself out to pasture.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 3, 2022

There's a good but underutilized cast, a promising premise that's undercut by a dour tone, and not enough action to justify the weak story.

| Dec 29, 2021

The Commuter uses female characters as nothing more than plot accessories.

| Original Score: C | Nov 4, 2021

Seeing [Neeson] barrel roll out of the way of an oncoming train and jumping onto a moving train is laughable at this point, but never less than entertaining.

| Original Score: B | Aug 24, 2021

Liam Neeson certainly knows how to play the everyman with a special set of skills but he's done it before and better in other movies.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 28, 2021

Neeson remains thoroughly engaging, capably bringing the audience into his frantic scenario of heedlessness and abandon.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 5, 2020

You don't have to be a dad to enjoy the visceral thrills of a Liam Neeson action movie, but it certainly helps if you suffer from the same American middle class insecurities as The Commuter's Michael.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 8, 2020

The cliché plot and the predictability of its outcome hurtling at high speed throughout the storyline make The Commuter a surprisingly fun Friday night pleaser.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2020

If anything, it goes to the end of the line, comes to a standstill, and then blows up for what feels like half an hour straight.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 23, 2020

Whatever interesting ideas it had to begin with is never capitalized on, and thus it ends up being just another generic action picture in a long line of generic action pictures.

| Original Score: C | Jul 18, 2020

There are much better movies that more or less do the same thing, and while it's not a fully satisfying meal, if you're in the mood for the cinematic equivalent of a salty snack full of empty calories, you can do worse than "The Commuter."

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 1, 2020

A fairly exciting and tension-filled romp through a diverse cast of mostly unknown actors, all of whom get to shine to varying degrees.

| May 27, 2020

The Commuter is much less concerned with staging brawls than it is with trying to spin a taut, ticking time bomb thriller, and for the most part it's quite successful.

| Mar 23, 2020

The film is hobbled by sloppy camera work, ludicrous fight scenes, hairbreadth escapes, and altogether too many suspects.

| Mar 10, 2020

I'm a Liam Neeson fan, but he needs to find better scripts. This one is way too long, overly complicated and unrealistic.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 27, 2020

You'll be engrossed for much of the film but in the end, you'll probably walk out thinking, "what was all that build-up for?"

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2019

It is not that there are no moments of implausible action, but the truth is that they are much more dosed, and therefore, it is a more complete spectacle. [Full Review in Spanish]

It is a good option for those who want to go to the movies, buy some popcorn and hang out without complications. [Full Review in Spanish]
