It’s smart, well scripted, and can be seen as many times you wish. More importantly, it grabs your attention so quickly that, in the end, you will have no choice, but to have the same trip the girl from the train has. Read more

Emily Blunt is superb, her performance mixing self-pity, regret, bitterness and rage...

It’s just a shame she is so good in a film that decidedly is not up to par itself.

With Emily Blunt's portrayal of Rachel, we always feel like we're watching a drunk pretending to be sober, rather than a sober actor playing drunk. She's thoroughly convincing as an alcoholic. Unfortunately, so are the film's director, screenwriter and editor. Read more

There is a small part of the film that elicits some sort of excitement, building up to an unfortunately rushed climax.

Een matige thriller, die te voorspelbaar is om echt spannend te worden. Read more
