The story centers on Neeson’s character, Michael MacCauley, a former NYPC police detective turned insurance agent. Commuting every work day back and forth from Tarrytown, we see he has a stable life, a loving wife and son, and also between his wife and his work and their bills (and their son soon going off to school which appears to be quite expensive), the family is barely making ends meet.
Until he gets laid off very early in the film. As he is riding home, not having told his family yet he is out of a job, he gets approached by a seemingly friendly, chatty, and intelligent woman, first speaking in hypotheticals about what would he would do essentially for a large sum of money, some money up front and some after it was complete, one he was uniquely talented and in position to complete, but one he has no idea of its larger consequences or import. Would he do it he ponders, as he realizes the woman wasn’t speaking in hypotheticals at all but as an actual job offer?
Turns out the woman wants Michael to find a passenger, one only known by an alias, and a package this mystery passenger has that the people the woman works for want very badly. Just plant a GPS tracker in the passenger’s bag and his job is done the woman assures him. He has no other information to work with, he doesn’t know anything other than the alias name of this passenger and that the person is carrying a package (no idea of race, gender, age, occupation, etc.), he doesn’t know what the package is, he doesn’t know what the people the woman works for want the person for (she tells him the mystery passenger has something that is stolen but other than that doesn’t elaborate on any possible fate for this thief).
Oh and the people the woman works for will be watching him, with people on and off the train keeping tabs on him, his family, and before this began they took his cell phone. Better find this person before the train reaches the end of the line, all without running afoul of his minders should he decide he can’t go through with this, not calling police to check on his family, and not arousing suspicion among passengers and crew with his investigations and being arrested and detained himself. Just a few more stops to find this passenger (he knows what stop the passenger is going to disembark to).
I liked how every element in the film – Michael’s police background, the fact he regularly rode the train and knew many of the regulars and could thus spot new riders, his family’s financial woes, Michael having contacts still in the police department – all played a role. I liked getting to know and bond with the regulars as the movie progressed. It has been a while since I have seen any action film that spent so much time on a train and I really enjoyed that as well.
A good action film, it has been too long since I have seen a Liam Neeson thriller!
The film loses a star because it doesn't make sense. They could have just told him who she was and this would have saved him all the time looking. Also the cop who threw the guy off the building, he would have known who they were looking for. They knew she was on the train. They knew who they were looking for. And the movie depicts these people all all knowing. They know every cell number, they could kill people without anyone noticing and put them under the train, they could kill the conductor while the train is moving, and they have killers all over the place. So they could have killed her themselves. They would have known who is was. So this doesn't make sense.
The film had some plot depth. There is the plot, and some sub plots happening.
The movie points out the value of Nobility. The cop says there's no value in Nobility. Nobility is very lacking today. Neeson is Irish. "Ireland" means "land of the Aryans" [Iran means something similar]. Aryan in Sanskrit means "Noble-Man". Neeson being Irish is an Aryan and a Noble-Man.
The 6 people left on the train who all claimed to be Prim in order to save Prim showed solidarity of Americans. And it's cool they are of various races. They are all serving a Noble ideal. Neeson, just light Denzel in Equalizer display peak Nobility in their film. Denzel is my favorite actor because he said if he wasn't an actor he would be a preacher, and that he tries to use his character to preach through the movie. This is what movies need. This is what America needs. Reality and Nobility and men and women supporting each other despite their differences.
At the end the girl dumps the fake credit cards. Nobility has affected her life forever. Growing up in New York, there is a good chance she has never witnessed much of it. People doing the right thing even when it costs them more then they get in return for their Noble deeds.
I like to rate on a 4 star scale because that is what it always was. This 5 star thing is bothersome. I would give it 3.5/4 if it was a 4 star rating.
