If you’re in the mood for silly.

Watched on the plane.

"if you wanna know what god thinks about money... look at the people he gives it to."

collet-serra brings his usual layered compositions + tight, rhythmic cutting to another exciting pulp thriller (dude gets his shit kicked in with a lefty guitar!!!), but his formal attempts to depict the communal language of the working class..? chef's kiss. best title sequence this side of fincher's Dragon Tattoo. fuck you goldman sachs.

the opening sequence (one of the best in years) starts the film out as this optimistic of synecdoche new york, and then quickly becomes a wild conspiracy thriller, all while maintaining its fun and b-movie trashiness.

a total surprise.

this movie could have ended at the scene where liam neeson beats a guy with a guitar and i honestly wouldn't have complained. everything else is just a bonus.

Sturdy but unsurprising. If you're looking for an impeccable formal exercise featuring a train as an analog for runaway capitalism do yourself a favor and re-watch UNSTOPPABLE.

Economic anxiety and our mechanized life. The Hollywood and late capitalist machinery at work, one and the same, with police state conspiracy as mediator. The American working class might not go to heaven, but has a meeting with a derailed train. Jaume Collet-Serra, Hollywood de facto #1 working man, is no Tony Scott, he will punch the clocks and keep the engines running (give or take the occasional dodgy CG and plot mechanics),  but he will also see everything.

This one is off the rails. Get it?

On a more serious note: If anyone steals my train pun I'll kick their ass.

i didn’t felt that anxious/claustrophobic ever since i watched The Purge

Same actioner as usual from Neeson. Solid nothing special.

疾速系列XDDDDD
連恩尼遜可能轉型很難了
但感覺他也沒有想轉型的感覺

Film yang setipe dengan Nonstop cuma beda latar doang.

3.5/10.

It's actually painful to see 60 year old v 30 year old fight scenes.

The title alone clues you in that this is going to be a more pedestrian affair than Liam Neeson's previous collaborations with Jaume Collet-Serra such as "Non-Stop" and "Run All Night." The script plays out something like Alfred Hitchcock does "Speed," before the third act literally and figuratively jumps the train, and you realize a shouting, blood-soaked, and gun-toting Liam Neeson is more of a danger to these passengers than the bad guys.

Un paio di sequenze riuscite (la parte iniziale e un curioso combattimento nel vagone) non bastano a renderlo diverso da quel tipo di produzione da cassetta con cui Liam Neeson ha deciso di andare a pensionarsi. Che poi inizia a diventare violenza gratuita contro i vecchi ma tant'è..

second choice of movies while on a plane. 

i love his movies and they’re always so intense.
