Movie No. 16 (2017): THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN
The Girl on the Train (2016)
Director: Tate Taylor
Cast: Emily Blunt, Justin Theroux, Luke Evans, Lisa Kudrow, Rebecca Ferguson
The most obvious good thing about the movie is Emily Blunt's outstanding performance. In this movie, Blunt is Rachel, who spends her time commuting while peering on a couple living in one of the houses that the train she is on passes by. She does this everyday to cope with depression caused by her divorce. One day, she sees something in the house's balcony that will consume her curiosity, and gets herself tangled into the couple's lives.

The movie is of the mystery genre. Unfortunately, the editing and, partly, the script fail to sustain the mystery. It's not totally bad. I just find it wanting. Honestly, I was entertained. But then, in the end, I had this feeling that it could be better. At some point in the movie, I no longer cared how it would end.
