Something Hitchcockian and fast-paced, with good actors in it and good dialogue and an interesting premise. And what we like is a very tight thriller.
#LIAM NEESON THE COMMUTER FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
But we really like to have a movie once in a while where we just do what we like.

Obviously, he does other types of movies, and I do other types of movies as well. The trailer doesn't elaborate too much on what happens from there, however, though it's clear that Farmiga's character isn't what she seems at a passing glance and soon gets Neeson caught up in a dangerous cat and mouse game that involves some illicit money aboard the train and an unidentified passenger - whom (based on the footage shown here) Neeson's protagonist finds himself being blackmailed into killing.Ĭollet-Serra, speaking to EW, explained what it was about The Commuter script written by Philip de Blasi and Byron Willinger (a pair of relative newcomers) that attracted both Neeson and him to the project: Vera Farmiga - who previously starred in Collet-Serra's 2009 horror/thriller Orphan - plays said stranger who crosses paths with Neeson in the movie, as said trailer for The Commuter illustrates. Related: Liam Neeson to Appear in Steven McQueen's Widows Whereas Non-Stop features Neeson as an air marshal who must unravel a murder mystery in the middle of a long flight, The Commuter has Neeson playing an ordinary businessman whose life is turned upside-down during his usual commute to New York one day, when he strikes up a conversation with a not-so-friendly stranger. The actor/director pair then reunited for another genre exercise in mystery/suspense with Non-Stop in 2014, before joining forces on the mobster crime drama/thriller Run All Night in 2015 and re-teaming yet again on The Commuter, not too long thereafter.īased on its premise alone, The Commuter begs comparison to Non-Stop in terms of Neeson and Collet-Serra's previous collaborations together - in the sense that both movies revolve around a protagonist (played by Neeson) who gets caught up in an elaborate conspiracy, trapped aboard a moving vehicle. Neeson and Collet-Serra have now worked on four movies together ( The Commuter included), starting with their Hitchcockian thriller Unknown in 2011. The first trailer has arrived for The Commuter, the latest collaboration between Liam Neeson and filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra.
