(The movie was actually filmed on a London set featuring a 30-ton reconstruction of a Metro-North train.)Īnd it takes a bit of license as far as the destinations are concerned.
Just as you’d expect from one of the actor’s thrillers, there’s plenty of head-butting and shooting - the type of thing that just wouldn’t be tolerated on the quiet car. ‘Liam has taken that train literally hundreds of times, and he loves it.’ - Jaume Collet-Serra, director, 'The Commuter' After being confronted by a mysterious stranger, he is blackmailed into finding the identity of a fellow passenger before the last stop. Not that Neeson’s character, Michael, spends much time gazing out the window. “It is a very beautiful route going from Grand Central through Harlem and up the Hudson River.” “Liam has taken that train literally hundreds of times, and he loves it,” Collet-Serra tells The Post. He regularly uses it to travel upstate to his country home in Millbrook, NY (although, sadly, I’ve never sat next to him).
It’s the exact same train I take to my sleepy suburb of Irvington, NY - although it actually terminates at Croton-Harmon - and, boy, does my journey seem dull compared to the murder and mayhem unfolding in the flick.ĭirector Jaume Collet-Serra partly chose this particular line because of Neeson’s “attachment” to the route. In his latest movie, “The Commuter” (out Friday), the 65-year-old action star stares death in the face aboard the 6:25 p.m. The Winter of Hell might be fully upon us, with subway and train delays due to the big freeze and work on the tracks - but at least your evening commute is nothing like Liam Neeson’s.
