Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

The Girl on the Train (2016)







Directed by: Tate Taylor

Written by: Erin Cressida Wilson & Paula Hawkins (novel)

Starring: Emily Blunt






Have you seen the film Gone Girl?  Well this film is a lot like that film.

Rachel (Blunt) is devastated.  She has been for two years ever since her divorce.  Because of this, Rachel drinks constantly.  On her way to work.  On her way home.  At home.  In the street.  She is always drinking or drunk.  When a woman goes missing, Rachel becomes a suspect for being seen nearby and causing trouble.  Unfortunately for her, she can’t remember a thing. 

The movie dragged until about ¾’s a way in.  There was just a lot of talking and trying to figure out what happened during the time she blacked out. 

I thought the best thing about this film was Emily Blunt’s acting.  She was a great drunk. 

When I said it was a lot like Gone Girl, it is in terms of twists and secrets, etc…, but to be honest, Gone Girl was better. 

This film would be better rented.  3 popcorns.
