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

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 cried for two episodes straight) which means

Review- Who's The Boss (2020)

Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, "Who's The Boss" follows Liah (Sharon Ooja) , an Advertising Executive who struggles to climb the cooperate ladder while juggling her mean and vindictive boss Hauwa (Funke Akindele- Bello). She takes the advice of her best friend Jumoke (Ini Dima-Okojie) and enlists her friend Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu), a known play boy into posing as her boss but ends up falling for him. It doesn't get any more cliche than this. After watching the first teaser for the Inkblot comedy, I was a little intrigued and looked forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off but sadly, it fell short in more ways than one. The biggest issue I had was the lead character and the actress cast to play it. Ooja has been typecast and I thought seeing her as the lead would show us a different side to the actress but my perception of her acting skills are worse than before. There's nothing worth remembering about this story and her acting did nothing to el
