The movie is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra who has worked with Neeson on films like “Non-Stop”, “Unknown”, and “Run All Night”. The movie takes place in New York City, primarily on the railway.

The story begins with scenes of McCauley’s daily routine. While on his way home from work, Michael is confronted by a woman who tells him that there is a compartment on the train containing $25,000, and another with $75,000. She informs McCauley that if he helps her find someone on the train named “Prynne” he can have the money.

Roque is critically acclaimed for his excellent work in music production, and although the songs he produced for this movie were not revolutionary in the thriller genre, they added to the movie’s suspenseful tone and contributed to the tense tone that was conveyed throughout.

While most action movies fail to produce clear fighting scenes, the fighting in the movie is easy to follow. In many movies, the fight scenes are messy and chaotic, with the camera often missing much of the action. In “The Commuter”, excellent camerawork keeps the viewer enthralled in action

The plotline is exciting and retains the audience through a myriad of plot twists and turns. Although it is easy for movies like “The Commuter” to become repetitive, this movie keeps people guessing what’s going to happen next.
