Review of The Girl on the Train (2016) by Johnathan B — 19 Oct 2016

Well... What to say? I went into this film a fan, I left as something less. While Blunt gives an admirable performance, the pacing and narrative comes off as smarmy and snobbish. You can feel the movie reaching into the theatre, extending a tin cup, hoping you drop your coins of absolute interest in, but all you can dole out is a less desired helping of "okay".

I was hoping this could be a cinema cousin to one of my favorite movies of all time, "Gone Girl", but c'est la vie.
