It’s a normal routine, but one that gets interrupted one day when he meets a fellow passenger named Joanna (Vera Farmiga) — a woman who seems very friendly at first, but is actually carefully luring him into a trap.
Based on an original screenplay by newcomers Byron Willinger and Philip de Blasi, The Commuter stars Liam Neeson as Michael, a married, ordinary businessman who takes the commuter train every day into the city for his job.
Before he has any idea of what’s going on, Michael finds himself right square in the middle of a criminal conspiracy involving the assassination of a witness in a courtroom case, and the possibility of walking away with $75,000.
