The Commuter's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
It's a certified B-movie without superheroes or interplanetary travel, drawing its power from a whodunit, race-against-the-clock scenario that plays as if The Lady Vanishes and Strangers on a Train were chopped up and tossed into the blender along with a slab of CGI and a full bottle of Dexedrine.
The Wrap
Collet-Serra?s fourth team-up with Neeson, 'The Commuter', represents neither man?s finest work, but at its best, it suggests the snap and fun they?ve brought us before.
Variety
'The Commuter's breakneck incoherence ? not to mention a generally dour demeanor, shorter on incidental humor than most of the helmer?s work ? makes it a notch less fun than those previous ex-trash-aganzas.
The Guardian
Perhaps you can?t ask too much from a modest, mid-range crowd-pleaser like this, but the experience ends up something like a commuter service itself: you know where it?s going and it gets you there perfectly well, but in a few years? time you?d be hard pressed to distinguish it from dozens of similar journeys.
Indiewire
This may be a forgettable movie about the forgotten man ? a blue-collar morality play disguised as a very contrived hostage crisis ? but at least it?s shlock with something on its mind.
Vulture
'The Commuter' is exactly what you?d expect ? and better than you need.
