Six years and nine months after The Commuter, starring Florence Pugh, hit theaters nationwide, Prime Video has added the thriller to its catalog, taking fans back to the superstar’s early career days. Pugh starred as Gwen in The Commuter, with the legendary Liam Neeson leading the movie as Michael MacCauley. Other stars involved in the movie were Vera Farmiga as Joanna, Patrick Wilson as Alex Murphy, Jonathan Banks as Walt, Sam Neill as Captain David Hawthorne with Damson Idris and Letitia Wright in smaller roles as Special Agent Denys and Jules Skateboarder, respectively.

Although the 2018 movie may have fallen out of popular rotation, it grossed $119 million worldwide against a $30 million budget when it was released. The action thriller currently holds a 55% score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 218 reviews, with critics describing the movie’s cast as “better than its workmanlike script.”

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Byron Willinger, Philip de Blasi, and Ryan Engle, The Commuter follows a man who is unsuspectingly recruited into a murder conspiracy after meeting a mysterious woman while on his daily commute. It premiered in New York City on January 8, 2018, and was theatrically released in the U.S. four days later by Lionsgate. StudioCanal also released the film on January 19 in the U.K.
