OVER THE PAST decade or so, Liam Neeson has almost become typecast in stereotypical action roles that began with Taken in 2008.
He followed it up with two more turns in that trilogy, Non-Stop, Run All Night and Unknown to name a few.
A couple of months ago he even said that he was done with action movies:
They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff
I’m like: ‘Guys I’m sixty-f******-five.’ Audiences are eventually going to go: ‘Come on.’
Fair.

A businessman is caught up in a criminal conspiracy during his daily commute home.
No surprises there.

Why didn’t they just call it what it is?
What a tagline though
Poor Liam Neeson just needs to have a few duvet days at this stage of the game
The Commuter is out in January – and the trailer is everything you’d expect
If you are looking for a train ticket I can tell you I don’t have money, but what I do have is a very particular set of excuses. Excuses I have acquired over a very long commute. Excuses that make me a nightmare for people like you, the conductor.
