train plot

The train is really a good metaphor.

Time goes on, passengers pick up and drop off, everyone has their own destination, and there are different ways of life among passengers.

Except for the Orient Express and the source code, this is the third time I've seen this kind of train story, and I haven't seen the protagonist's previous rescue series, but it's still very exciting at first glance.

As for the design of the trick, you can basically guess the same. In the end, it is a noble act for all the passengers to jump to cover their identity, but the progress may be too sudden, so it does not touch people's hearts.

It's heartwarming that mastering human psychology is about the same as being familiar with criminal manipulation. From seizing weaknesses and lures into traps, to attacking weak underbelly to coerce crimes, and even to the effect that the mysterious woman in the whole world can get out of her body through clever design: if the witness is dead, it is the police traitor who wins, frame the protagonist, and achieve the purpose of the superior; if the witness is alive, the protagonist becomes Heroes and traitors are not allowed to turn over and expose the corruption of their superiors. Under normal circumstances, they cannot be traced because they are always in single-line contact. Tsk tsk tsk ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

The power of the villain is really unpredictable. They can kill and kidnap at will in a grand manner, but in the end they seem a little vulnerable. The success or failure of all front-line operations depends on a passively obedient grassroots police officer, and I feel that the consideration for the villains and elites is really not well thought out.

Generally speaking, the scene is very exciting and the action is very subjective, so there may be many loopholes in reality, just like the "train forced drug test" dream I did before, the horror atmosphere is immersive, but wake up and repeat. Pan, it's really a mess of sand that can't convince people, so I can only hold myself back. I really don't have the ability to tell stories, and I've lost a good script?

So look forward to seeing more good stories told by others!

Pay tribute to the protagonist who is still hard at work at the age of sixty!

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?
