Notes

My quick rating - 6.3/10. Taking Liam Neeson out of the "Taken" world is a bit difficult, but this movie does a good job of seperating him from that character. As the story goes, we see a man going through his boring daily routine (nicely played out though the opening credits of the alarm going off every morning, waking to the exact same moment of a radio show) until one day he is offered a nice proposition on the train. Find money hidden on his morning train, figure out who one particular passenger is, and keep the money. It is explained in the movie a bit better. As you can guess, there is quite a bit more to it than just a game of hide and seek. The acting is pretty good in this movie, and the different people on the train play their parts very well, each with their own differences. So, Liam being himself has to try and figure out the mystery before the "end of the line" of the commute. Nice twists, nothing earth shattering, just well played out and a good film overall.
