We watched this at Gold Class over lunch. Was considering between this one and 12 Strong. Since both The Commuter and 12 Strong had about the same ratings, we took the earlier slot. The movies Liam Neeson starred in had so far guaranteed us thrills, this was no exception. :)

Ending was nice. Good to watch.

It's nice to see Jackie Chan act in a Chinese movie and speak mandarin once in a while!

Nice futuristic show (think robots, steel mechanic heart, space)... as usual thrilling to see him in action.

Good to find the Taiwanese heart-throb (Xiao Zhu) in the movie too! Hope to see the sequel soon!
