The Commuter (Fun But Disappointing)

Another Liam Neeson action flick that this time early on promises to be something more (including raising "would you" ethical questions) but then is over the top silly with a range of standard tropes (down to the perfidy of his former friend). Thus, we have a nice set up of his family dynamic including Elizabeth McGovern as his wife, then a tacked on "they are okay, great job" sighting near the end of the film. The ethical complexity is also totally forgotten about too. The number of fight/action scenes by someone over 60 is a bit absurd too.
