Storyline;

The Girl on the Train is the story of Rachel Watson's life post-divorce. Every day, she takes the train in to work in New York, and every day the train passes by her old house. The house she lived in with her husband, who still lives there, with his new wife and child. As she attempts to not focus on her pain, she starts watching a couple who live a few houses down -- Megan and Scott Hipwell. She creates a wonderful dream life for them in her head, about how they are a perfect happy family. And then one day, as the train passes, she sees something shocking, filling her with rage. The next day, she wakes up with a horrible hangover, various wounds and bruises, and no memory of the night before. She has only a feeling: something bad happened. Then come the TV reports: Megan Hipwell is missing. Rachel becomes invested in the case and trying to find out what happened to Megan, where she is, and what exactly she herself was up to that same night Megan went missing.

Thoughts;

Ok, so I didn’t know to think at first about this movie. I probably wouldn’t have picked it out to watch it but it turned out pretty good.

The movie starts out with Emily Blunt’s character, Rachel riding the train and explaining what she is looking for and her narrative about the houses and the people in them.

You really need to pay attention to what is going on, there are so many flashbacks and memories. The movie goes back and forth a bit. Despite all of this, this movie was pretty amazing!
