Above the standard, very good reasoning suspense drama (try not to spoil)

Peeling onions to solve puzzles layer by layer, and constantly overturning the facts that the screenwriter made the audience believe, is definitely a reasoning and suspense film above the standard.

When I saw it halfway through, I kept wondering, since the other party is so powerful, he almost opened his vision in the car, and he was brave enough to kill people, why did he rely on the male protagonist to find the "people who shouldn't be in the car"? And why are you looking for the "people who shouldn't be in the car"?

Because I couldn't figure it out all the time, I once misunderstood it as a mindless plot, and almost lost my temper (now, it seems that I am too conceited. The storytelling technique of solving puzzles is brilliant, so I continued to watch it. Fortunately, I didn't leave, otherwise I would have missed a good drama with superb storytelling techniques and justice being served.

The reversal of the gods at the end really has a feeling of enlightenment, and it is very relieved.

The Commuter quotes

  • Michael MacCauley: So, I heard something earlier today, a hypothetical question.

    Tony: Uh-huh. What was the question?

    Michael MacCauley: What if someone asked you to do one little thing, something that's meaningless to you, but would affect another passenger on this train? Would you do it?

    Tony: I don't know. What's in it for me?

    Michael MacCauley: $100,000.

    Tony: Absolutely!

    Michael MacCauley: You don't even know what it is.

    Tony: It doesn't matter. Come on.

    Jackson: So, what is that one little thing?

    Michael MacCauley: A passenger on this train doesn't belong. They're carrying a bag, but you don't know what it looks like. All you have to do is find them before they get off.

    Tony: That's it? It's not much to go on, Mike.

    Michael MacCauley: Tell me about it.

    Jackson: And what happens when you find 'em?

    Michael MacCauley: They die. Hypothetically.

    Tony: So what would you do, Mike?

    Michael MacCauley: I'd get all the people left on the train in one car, propose that very scenario.

    Tony: No, no, no, no, no. I mean, would you take the money?

    Michael MacCauley: You know what? I already did.

  • Tony: Hey, Mike, what happened to the guy with the guitar?

    Michael MacCauley: He got off.
