Review- The Commuter (2018)

Image via imdb.com
    The Commuter follows the story of Michael McCauley played by the one and only Liam Neeson and the movie begins with an introduction to his character and family. We get to know his daily routine of waking up by 6am and taking the commuter train to his work at an Insurance company. One day, out of the blue, Michael gets fired and while on the train back home, he is approached by a mysterious woman named Joanna (Vera Farmiga) and she makes him an offer. He needs to identify the passenger who doesn’t belong on the train and he gets a $100,000. It’s left to Michael to decide if he wants to take the offer or decline and lose his family and probably everyone on the train.

   I’ve been a huge fan of action star, Liam Neeson since his days as Bryan Mills in Taken and I always look forward to his movies mostly because a large percentage of them are filled with intense, edge-of-your-seat action and The Commuter was no different. Neeson never fails in his roles and there’s just something about him that makes you interested in seeing his movies. Yes, he’s kind of a one-dimensional actor but he always kills his roles. Although, the plot isn’t particularly original, it’s still pretty entertaining to watch. It was fast paced and very thrilling. If I’m being totally honest, The Commuter is basically “Non Stop” on a train. It’s a little cliche but it’s a very decent film that’ll leave you on the edge of your seat. 

RATING 7/10
DIRECTOR Jaume Collet-Serra
STARRING Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Jonathan Banks, Sam Neill, Elizabeth McGowan

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I c...

Goodbye Mike & Rachel- Suits' Seventh Season Finale Review

  Suits is one of my favorite Legal Drama's and for some reason, I'm still very invested in the show after 7 seasons. I don't think they've had any bad season and they've done such a great job with the growth and development of the major characters but the time to say goodbye to Mike and Rachel was finally here. Due to the fact that Meghan Markle would be getting married to Prince Harry, I guess it was a good time to wrap up her love story with Mike and they do this with the fairy tale wedding we've all been waiting for. Mike and Rachel have been an item since the first season and have been engaged since the fifth. They would have been married a season ago but were not able to because of Mike's time in prison. I always loved their chemistry and I was so sad to see them say goodbye and more than anything, I loved Mike and Harvey's relationship. It was so genuine and pure. The two final episodes of the final season of Suits aired back to back and...

Snowfall Season One Finale Review- "The Rubicon"

   There's no denying that this season has been intense for the four major characters and everyone around them. The first season of Snowfall was all over the place but the by the 8th episode, I was convinced the writers finally got their thoughts together. The pilot episode was good and I felt this was a show I was going to fall in love with, but it became a struggle to watch after the third episode.  They got my attention back after Leon was shot in the final scene of the 8th episode. Franklin got himself into a very dangerous business which I still think he hasn't fully realized. He wants to hustle hard and make sure he's mom doesn't have to bother herself about anything, but she's disappointed when she finds out about her son's extra curricular activities. The neighborhood knows that he's the boss and he's really all about the money.  Damson Idris brings his character of Franklin to life and I couldn't see anyone else playing this role. He's ...
