Lionsgate has released a teaser trailer for their upcoming new movie, The Commuter, which will be premiering in theatre screens early next year from January 12th, 2018 onwards. The film stars Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Sam Neill, and Elizabeth McGovern.
Plot Overview
The Commuter is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and has been written by Byron Willinger & Philip de Blasi. The movie promises to be an action-packed thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.
Liam Neeson plays an insurance salesman, Michael, on his daily commute home, which quickly becomes anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on his train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realizes a deadly plan is unfolding and is unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy. One that carries life and death stakes, for himself and his fellow passengers.
Cast and Characters
Liam Neeson, known for his roles in action-packed films such as Taken and Non-Stop, brings his signature intensity to the role of Michael. Vera Farmiga, who has starred in films like The Departed and Up in the Air, plays the mysterious stranger who sets the plot in motion. Patrick Wilson, known for his roles in The Conjuring series and Watchmen, adds depth to the ensemble cast. Sam Neill, famous for his role in Jurassic Park, and Elizabeth McGovern, known for Downton Abbey, round out the cast, adding further star power to the film.
Director and Writers
Jaume Collet-Serra, the director, has a history of creating gripping thrillers. His previous works include Unknown, Run All Night, and The Shallows. Collet-Serra’s ability to build tension and craft suspenseful narratives makes him a perfect fit for The Commuter. The screenplay, written by Byron Willinger & Philip de Blasi, promises to deliver a tightly woven plot filled with twists and turns.
Expectations and Anticipation
Given the talent involved both in front of and behind the camera, The Commuter is highly anticipated by fans of the thriller genre. The film’s premise of an ordinary man caught in extraordinary circumstances is a classic setup that has proven successful in many of Neeson’s previous films. The confined setting of a train adds an element of claustrophobia and urgency, heightening the stakes and tension.
With its star-studded cast, experienced director, and intriguing plot, The Commuter is shaping up to be a must-watch film in early 2018. Fans of Liam Neeson and action thrillers will likely find this movie to be a thrilling ride from start to finish. Be sure to catch it in theaters starting January 12th, 2018.
