anapalmathsberry-91854 It was not my cup of tea,i really could not understand what was going on in the movie. i found it really boring, there was lots of talking about love which wasnt intersting to me! i probably would prefer the book.

larynaelliott I had a feeling I would like this movie after viewing the trailer. In fact, I thought I knew exactly how it would go after seeing the trailer for it. I was VERY wrong. So many twists and turns, and a completely unexpected ending. The Girl on the Train reminded me a bit of Gone Girl. If you're like me, you won't know what to think of any of the six main characters until the very end- everything you think you know can (and will) change at a moments' notice!

paulclaassen There's a lot here that doesn't make sense, in particular the reason for the girl being on the train. She has absolutely no reason for being on the train, as she is unemployed, yet still takes the train DAILY to nowhere, just to drive past her old house. The film never explores what she does from the time she takes the train in the morning until she takes it again in the afternoon. It is therefore just not credible. The entire film is also very somber and dreary, as there is never really a happy moment. Quite depressing, actually. It has a good twist, though, and a very good cast.

Nigel P Ah, the private torment of the 'secret' alcoholic - which really isn't a secret at all, which makes things even worse, and has you reaching for the Vodka. Emily Blunt is excellent as Rachel Watson, the main character, in this terrific adaption of Paula Hawkins' successful debut novel of the same name. The skin-crawling description of Watson's daily nightmare is recreated with equal relish here by director Tate Taylor. The moving of events from recognisable English suburbia to America works a lot better than I had anticipated, helped by a cast of actors from both sides of the Atlantic.Happily, Blunt's excellence does not exist in isolation. The ex-husband, the other woman, the other other woman, her ex and the splendid DS Riley (Allison Janney) all utterly convince as a nest of truly flawed characters. Their rough edges keep things interesting and stop events ever sinking into the melodrama they might otherwise have done. Watson's hapless stumbling leads her into and out of trouble, her condition never allowing us to take too seriously any of her wilder accusations. Which is interesting, as some of them may be true ...A fascinating drama then, beautifully shot, both as an adaption and in its own right.
