The Girl on the Train (2016 Tate Taylor)

I guess Taylor got this on the back of The Help. Though Ems is great, the film doesn't exactly leap out at me - intriguing, builds up to a good climax, features one great irony (the glimpsed 'affair'). Paula Hawkins' novel adapted by Erin Cressida Wilson (previously co-wrote Jason Reitman's Men, Women and Children).

Hayley Bennett looks familiar, but isn't. Rebecca Ferguson (Swedish-English) doesn't look familiar, and isn't. Other unfamiliar people are Justin Theroux, Luke Evans and Edgar Ramirez - not a bad idea when you want to keep everyone guessing. Plus Alison Janney, Lisa Kudrow.
