Modern (2000s?) movie where mother is killed at a station, girl returns

Hi!

Trying to remember a movie – fairly well-known definitely I’ve just forgotten the name!

What I remember is a scene where a young girl and her mother were at a train station on the way to the girl’s dance recital. They are mugged and her mother stands scanning the face of her attacker to remember and tell her husband/girl’s father who is a detective of some sort. He sees what she’s doing and shoots her in the head before the train leaves. The father then comes later to pick up the girl.

Later in the movie the girl returns to the station, as a grown woman.

Can’t remember much else than that, can anyone help?

  1. From wiki:
    ‘In 1991 in New York City, Alyssa “Ally” Craig is waiting with her mother for the subway when they are mugged by two young men who shoot her mother after boarding the train.

    Ten years later, Ally is a student at New York University and lives with her father, Neil, a New York Police Department detective…’
