1) This weekend was amazing, and I can get a 7 out of 7 in my review of "Commuter Rescue". The director of this film has directed "Shark Beach" and "Air Rescue". He is my favorite director in my favorite suspense works. It's just a pity that the title of the film is a bit unfortunate. Many people don't understand what "commuting" means. bring obstacles. Explained here, "commuter train" refers to the railway passenger train that employees travel to and from their living and working places.

2) 80% of the content of this film is on the commuter train. As I said before, this is a closed-space suspense film. The more typical one is "Sniper Phone Booth", which takes place in a phone booth. There is even a movie that is even more exaggerated, called " Buried Alive", the entire film takes place in a coffin, but after all, the telephone booth and the coffin are too small, so it is difficult to come up with new ideas, and the train is an ideal closed space. The personnel here are complicated, some secrets are easier to hide, and there is enough room to move around. , There are also many such movies, "Cassandra Bridge", "Snowpiercer", "Murder on the Orient Express", "A World Without Thieves"... In fact, a certain routine has been formed: 1. A predictable end point Journey 2. The stop site is the rhythm of the plot change 3. There are certain foreshadowings before getting on the bus, and this film is completely in line with it.

3) The story is that on the day of his unemployment, policeman Macaulay took the train that he had been on for ten years to go home, but a mysterious woman suddenly approached him, and she offered Macaulay a very tempting idea. As long as you find a certain passenger, you can get a huge amount of cash in return. In the process of searching, Macaulay gradually found that he was caught in a shocking conspiracy...

4) In fact, if you taste it carefully, you can find that the director still put a lot of thought into it. How do you find clues when there are so many people on the train? Then it is designed to be a commuter train. The male protagonist takes this train every day for ten years. He can exclude some acquaintances from suspicion, and can also make some requirements for the conductor; what should I do if I need a secret space in the train? It is designed that if the air conditioner of one car is broken, this car can become an ideal area for conflicts to occur. Suspense is enough, as for the others, it has designed fighting scenes, hidden corpses under the board, and explosion scenes with CG special effects, which have successfully stimulated the audience's hormones many times.

5) The suspense is not enough, and derailment comes together. This is the practice of many suspense films. In this film, no one derailed. However, the train derailed. . . However, there is an important part of the film that still cannot stand scrutiny. She is as powerful as the mysterious girl. She knows everything about the male protagonist on the train, but she cannot find the person he is looking for. , isn't that embarrassing?

The Commuter quotes

  • Jackson: So this is the end of the line.

    Michael MacCauley: I guess so.

    Jackson: Next time, I'm taking the bus.

  • [last lines]

    Michael MacCauley: [seeing Joanna reading "The Count of Monte Cristo"] "What makes a man is what he does when the storm comes." Alexandre Dumas. Read that one a few years back. It's got a hell of an ending. This seat taken? The 6:20 every morning to Chicago. The 5:30 home. You know, I never took your for a commuter.

    Joanna: I'm sorry. Have we met?

    Michael MacCauley: The way I figure it, the people you work for, Alex Murphy goes down, you win. That 16-year-old girl dies on that train, you win. You do your job, disappear, the rest of just collateral damage. You didn't pick me because the witness was on my train. You put her *on* the train. Maybe you even got me fired. Suddenly, I have motive, opportunity, just like Alex Murphy. This wasn't his operation. You played us both.

    Joanna: I'm not sure what you think is gonna happen here, Michael.

    Michael MacCauley: One little thing.

    Joanna: And what's that?
