“The Girl on the Train”…isn’t the title intriguing? Well, we all love sitting near the train window and watching lives from there. Paula Hawkins Paula Hawkins acted as a columnist for a long time >> Read More... wrote a book named The Girl on the Train in 2015 by understanding this. Her novel also was one of the bestsellers of all time. Now let’s see how this cinematic version turns to be.

Now you interconnect these aspects; you get the film The Girl on the Train.

Star Performances

Emily Blunt has a captivating charisma  and this compensates for her lack of competency in portraying the character Rachel. Haley Bennett Haley Bennett is a renowned American pop singer an >> Read More... manages to get our empathy and fits the role to the T. The rest of the cast do a convincing job.          

Analysis

The director Tate Taylor has not followed the book exactly; he has taken some cinematic liberties. The movie talks about self-destructive characters which may not be liked by all.

What’s there?

The movie has some strange twists.

What’s not there?

  • The story progressing from Britain to America is something unwanted.
  • The story goes in a somewhat depressing tone sometimes.
  • The tension is not mounted to a great extent, which should be the case with such films.

Verdict

The cinematic version is not as impactful as the novel. However, if you are game for a gloomy film with its own share of thrills, then you can watch this film.
