This train has fallen off the rails.

With an amazing trailer, great cast and being hyped up as the next “Gone Girl,” audiences expected a great final product from the film “The Girl on the Train” but it failed to impressed.

Fans of the book will be disappointed with the change of setting and the thriller aspect incorporated into the film. It made little sense to change the setting to Westchester in the movie as readers expected the story to take place in London.

The movie concentrates mainly on three characters: Rachel, played by Emily Blunt (“Sicario”), Anna, played by Rebecca Ferguson (“Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”), and Megan, played by Haley Bennet (“The Equalizer”). Only one of the three actresses gave a good performance in the film while their male counterparts performed better but did not receive as much screen time.

The movie follows Blunt’s character as she stalks her ex-husband Tom, played by Justin Theroux (“Zoolander 2”), his new wife Anna and their baby. One day Anna is found dead in the woods and Rachel is blamed for her death by her ex-husband. Rachel must seek a way to prove her innocence.

Meanwhile, another couple, Megan and Scott, played by Luke Evans (“High-Rise”), have their separate issues. To the world they are a perfect couple, but behind closed doors Scott is an abusive husband and Megan cheats on him with various men, including psychiatrist Dr. Kamal Abdic, played by Edgar Ramirez (“Hands of Stone”).

All characters mix in the mess eventually, but the biggest down-vote of the film are its many plot holes.

The cast seemed great, but turned to be a negative for the film. The main female characters fail to shine. Both Bennet and Ferguson fail to give good performances. Only Blunt can leave with a bow as her performance is praised for her act as a drunken, destroyed woman, but it was not enough to save the film. Meanwhile Allison Janney (“Finding Dory”) plays a cop that is not necessary in the plot and does not know what she is doing.

Of the batch of men in the film, Ramirez hands the audience a brilliant performance as a psychiatrist who is involved in an affair with Bennet’s character. Evans’ character plays a two-faced character that gives the viewer goosebumps. Theroux dims the bright light for the male actors in this film; there could have been more effort from him as the male lead.

There was no doubt that movie-goers expected brilliant performances with the high-profile names on the cast list but half of the actors gave little to no effort to exceed success. Blunt is a hero for trying her best in her role, but one actress cannot carry a whole team.

The audience witnesses repetitive stalking and steamy sex, but not an enjoyable plot. The film fails to thrill in the thriller genre.
