When Emily Blunt is onscreen, it's impossible to look away.

If not for Blunt's fantastic performance, the film would have come across as a quickie capitalizing on the novel's popularity. As far as thrillers go,Girl on the Train works hard to make every player seem suspicious but the result isn't as juicy...

Though never devolving into the levels of camp, The Girl on the Train presents itself as Gone Girl's trashier, but funner sister.

Soapy psychosexual thriller ‘The Girl on the Train’ applies Emily Blunt’s tremendous talents to tell a fairly rote murder mystery melodrama.
