Serviceable actioner addition to Neeson's now considerable post-Taken catalogue. Opening, and beautifully edited, sequence aside (which manages to convey the mind-numbing routine of commuting) - the cast are probably a bit better than the material.Neeson's solidly excellent as a washed up insurance salesman, of course, and Farmiga's short spot memorably sets up the core premise with a Twilight Zone like vibe. A sprinkling of recognisable faces provide enough red herrings to keep you guessing as to who his real focus should be.
Verdict: Enjoyable and never boring.
