One of my all time favorites.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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.
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!
I have several problem withthe story I just dont understand why should she be involved in the murder their life wasnt her business. How is it that when ever she pass by train she always see them out or in contact. It kinda doesnt make sense to me even in novel i disnt like the second hundred page and then the story was on track again. And by the way the novel was way better than the movie it couldnt picture the story well and it put 400 page in about 2 hour movie. In story rachel is fatt or not beautiful. In the story things are a lot more sensable
Pretty sad.....This guy is the worst , as they come. Women don't deserve this treatment at alll I Hope this isn't based of a true incident.
