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.

You must be advised dear reader that I read the novel version of Paula
Hawkins and I can say now that the book is better than the film, that
don't waste your time watching this film version, too many scenes from
the book that didn't included in the film that leads to plot holes from
the film, that only the reader of the book version will understand it.
But in the other side of the coin I liked the casting of this film,
Emily Blunt as Rachel, a lonely alcoholic who rides from suburban New
York to Manhattan every day, Haley Bennett as Megan a cheater wife, and
Luke Evans as Scott a lovely husband, their performance is what I
expected from the book version.
I don't want to take this a long movie review because the movie is more
drunk than Rachel is!
