“Girl On Train” Derails
Based on Paula Hawkins’ best seller and starring Emily Blunt, “The Girl on the Train” is meeting with critical mehs. Todd McCarthy says: ‘A morose, grim and intensely one-dimensional thriller about an alcoholic’s struggle to make sense of a close-to-home murder as well as her own mind, this major fall release from Universal can count on a panting public to pack multiplexes upon its October 7 opening. But this train may hit a yellow commercial light sooner than expected down the line.’
