Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Lots of good acting wasted on a convoluted, illogical and ridiculous plot. We're supposed to believe all of these unconnected characters connect on what is probably the dumbest location to find an unknown witness who could have been protected in any number of ways. The ending shows they were willing to destroy the whole train anyway so why didn't they do it early on. Who was the mystery lady? Who did she work for? How did he find her? Was the captain involved.? Don't waste you're time trying to figure it out.
Actually 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.
Terrible fight scenes and grandpa Neeson wasn't the worst...Patrick Wilson is a horrible actor!
This man never aged, I'm always excited to watch his movies
