Movie review: The Commuter with Liam Neeson and Vera Farmiga

So, I saw The Commuter and it is OK...the plot is pretty dumb with nothing new to offer.

In The Commuter, Liam Neeson plays Michael, an insurance salesman. On his daily commute home, a mysterious stranger (Vera Farmiga) sends him on a wild goose chase to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on the train before the last stop. As he tries to accomplish this task, madness ensues.

Liam Neeson is getting old but he can still deliver a good fight scene...the one in the middle is probably the best thing about the movie. If you have seen Nesson's 2014 movie Non-Stop, you can pass on this one as they are pretty much the same thing. If you are a big Vera Farmiga fan, she is heard much more than seen in this one.

This movie will appeal to you if:

you are a fan of Liam Neeson - there is plenty of him.
you like train movies where the train goes flying off the tracks.
you like predictable movies.

This movie will not appeal to you if:

you saw Non-Stop already.
you want a surprise ending.
you are sick of watching Liam Neeson beat the crap out of some fools.

Male logic joke

A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."

As the carbon dioxide management bill - aka cap and trade - looms in Congress, a new study from Oregon State University emerges that ends the scientific debate on the central causes of ice ages and warming periods on Earth. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is fond of saying that the scientific debate on global warming is over - and while he may now be correct in the fact that a debate has come to an end, the central cause behind climate change does not support the carbon cap legislation that is being cobbled together by Mr. Gore and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Congress.
