Plot

Jaume Collet-Serra ('The Orphan') directs this thriller starring Liam Neeson ('Star Wars - Episode I: The Phantom Menace') and Vera Farmiga ('Warren File: The Enfiled Case').

A businessman (Liam Neeson) takes the same train every day to go back and forth from his job for 10 years, something that has become his daily routine and a journey in which he never usually has any problem with which deal on the way to work. One day, a woman he does not know (Vera Farmiga) is interested in him sitting next to him on the train, which first seems somewhat suspicious, but does not give much importance. The mysterious woman tells him that she is dedicated to studying human behavior and what he wants to know is what kind of person he is, so he decides to start a conversation with her since he has no reason to distrust. He proposes an experiment in which he offers a sum of money for investigating a person on the train, and he accepts, although not knowing very well what he is getting into, that it turns out to be something extremely dangerous. Without realizing it, he is involved in a dangerous situation and must flee from there.

The film premiered on January 26, 2018 in Spain and had critics of all kinds. A thriller for lovers of action, drama and mystery.

Trivia

No trains

Neeson revealed on a talk show that no scenes were filmed on board an actual train. Instead, all of these scenes were shot on a soundstage, with the same single mock-up train cabinet serving as all of them, only slightly redressed, and all the outside scenery added in post production with the help of green screens.

A thousand times Michael

Liam Neeson has played characters with Michael's name on several occasions. In films like 'Third person', 'Michael Collins', 'Husbands and wives' or 'Lamb'.

Short but expensive

Despite receiving the prominent second billing, Vera Farmiga has only about 6 minutes of screen time.
