The Girl on the Train (2016) - Emily Blunt

The Girl on the Train: The lives derailed

The Girl on the Train, based on Paula Hawkins’ best-selling novel of the same name, is finally released this week. Emily Blunt, Halet Bennett, Rebecca Ferguson, Justin Theroux and Luke Evans are all on the cast, which we remember from 2011’s The Help. The film, which is one of the highly anticipated adaptations of the year and which will inevitably be greeted at the box office due to the book’s interest, offers the audience a Hitchcockish tension close to the classical narrative.
