Rating this as a 6,5, witch is the current status, is absolutely absurd. Movies below 6 are are often rubbish, one have to rate 7 or up to rate a good movie. This is a good movie. The plot is not super-original, but it is original above the average thriller. Rachel, the main caracter, alcoholized, is suberbly played by Emily Blunt. She even have the alcoholics red skin around the cheek-area. Superb make-up. Apart from that, the story is well put together, and the last half of the movie makes up for the kind of slow beginning.
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!
If you've read the book I would avoid watching this. The book was amazing and I got into it so quickly, the fact that this followed the book very loosely was a bit of a disappointment for me. If you haven't read the book then you might enjoy this, it's okay but a bit over the top with the melodrama
Loved the book? This has very little to do with that. An almost all American cast, not set in the UK and lacking any of the information about character that gives depth and thus makes the story addictive. Overly sexualised - except where it mattered and major plot development left out making the film a bit vague... Had high hopes, totally disappointed apart from Emily Blunt who was superb. Two hours of your life that would be much better spent reading the book!
