Playboy Entertainment Spoken Edition

The three B-grade action flicks churned out in the past few years by star Liam Neeson and crafty, highly efficient Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra hum along with a weirdly likable, slick, machine-tooled efficiency. The duo’s newest is pretty much more of the same, only it’s sillier, less impactful and altogether worse for its lack of aspiration. The utterly unconvincing action thriller The Commuter could just as well have been called Unknown, Non-Stop or Run All Night.
