... View MoreI gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
... View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
... View MoreThis film's plot is very similar to classic "Narrow Margin" starring Gene Hackman and Anne Archer (1990). It is a mysterious and full of action rail trip with great actors. So, if you enjoy Liam Neeson action movies, like Taken or Unknown, you certainly won't be disappointed with this one!
... View MoreActually very entertaining but also quite common Liam Neeson auctioner that was really full of holes like Swiss cheese. Too bad, because it had some tense and fine style as well as interesting cinematography but the problem was that the format is really dried out now... we saw the same kind of thing in "Non-Stop" by the same actor/director duo and this time the story just takes place on a train and is even more unbelievable just like many of the stunts. Too bad that a good cast was wasted. Next to Liam Neeson, who really was not in top form here, we have Vera Farmiga in a wasted role that mostly focuses on a voice performance only. Sam Neill who was also quite non existing except for the beginning and ending. But I always love to see him. Patrick Wilson did his usual boring thing. Good to see Jonathan Banks and Elizabeth McGovern who almost had no lines. The score was good some effects decent and it never got boring but even if you try to switch off the logic you just can't, its so illogical its funny how it got a green light. Oh well never change a winning team or concept I think... but maybe its time to do so now.
... View MoreWhile I got what I wanted out of this movie, some time to zone out and be entertained there were a lot of things wrong with this movie that I found I kept having to tell myself to let go which pulls you out of the story at least temporarily.I thought the opening sequence was pretty cool, they show Michael (Liam) going to work each day over the course of seems like a year or more with quick cuts but the Liam stays in frame so he kind of stays constant while his surroundings change to show the passage of time. This was too predictable for me, they tried to get you off the scent by introducing some of the characters but I had a pretty good idea who was the baddy right away. Unless I missed it we never find out who is the top baddies or really why they are doing what they do, in some cases this wouldn't matter so much but it left this movie feeling rushed and shallow. The fight scenes were a little repetitive and Liam's character takes every form of beating and just shrugs it off, he gets pepper sprayed (kind of accidental like) and in seconds is able to use a napkin or something and is okely dokely. Even John Maclain walked with a bit of a limp at the end of Die Hard - 60 year old Michael just brushes it off. The acting was pretty good all around, it did leave you wondering at times just how was a baddy and how many were there. But all in all it was like lighting a match the action lasts for a short time then its gone and discarded. If you are a completionist and HAVE to watch this movie to say you saw every Neeson flick out there then it won't be too painful to sit through and watch, if you paid money and expected a Taken kind of movie you will probably be dissapointed. You want a flick that has the good guys fighting the bad guys watch The Equalizer its more fun than this movie.
