From the trailer we know that Michael (Liam Neeson) is an ordinary commuter who one day is given a vague task by a mysterious woman to identify a passenger who "doesn't belong" on the train. And there is going to be action involved.
Since others have reviewed pretty much everything about this movie, I will tell you 3 positive aspects that most reviewers have missed:
If you already like action thrillers, then this one is certainly above average in that category. Worth watching!
Oh btw the producers definitely lost a lot of money during the subprime crisis. ;)
Since others have reviewed pretty much everything about this movie, I will tell you 3 positive aspects that most reviewers have missed:
- There is deduction. More importantly, the process of deduction. Besides making observations of his own, Michael leverages on his personal connections with other frequent commuters to help solve the mystery in a believable way.
- The action sequences have far fewer cuts than something like the Taken trilogy, especially the second fight (granted, there are hidden cuts). Hence the fights are much easier to follow.
- More realistic injuries. People can get injured in a fight and do get injured, and not every side-character who got injured suffers instant death.
