Plot
Rachet Watson has lost her happiness, and she has no one to blame for this, except for herself and her addiction. The husband suffered for a long time her alcohol spree, but, tired of fighting with his willful wife, he filed for divorce. This fact gave the alcoholic a new reason for binge. Tom soon found the good girl Anna and started a new family. Now he has everything he dreamed about for so long: a beautiful wife, a child and a huge house. The only thing that worries him and does not allow him to live in peace are regular calls from his ex-wife. She is still trying to get him back, although she realizes that this will never happen. When he does not pick up the phone, she comes to visit them. The police forbade her to appear near their house, but, having been pumped up with alcohol, the woman weakly remembers the prescription. Tom does not wish her harm, although the young wife fears for the life of their child.
Rachel understands where her dangerous hobby will lead, but she is no longer able to stop. Every morning she gets on the train and drives past the house of her ex-spouse, hoping to at least out of the corner of her eye to see his new life. Such trips inflict severe emotional trauma on her, but she still cannot refuse them. In addition to her husband, they are interested in their neighbors - a young beautiful couple. In the morning they like to stand on the terrace and drink coffee. Rachel more than once saw the manifestation of their passion and in her heart dreamed of such a life. She imagined herself in the place of a happy blonde, and this for some time gave her strength.
Once she noticed that next to the girl a completely different man, and, apparently, this is her lover. Outraged to the core by such behavior, she gets off the train and heads for the traitor. Ugly words are already spinning in her tongue - this spin-tail has broken her dream! Waking up the next morning at home, Rachel does not remember what happened last night. All her clothes are covered in blood, and her body is covered with bruises. Soon she finds out that the girl from that house is called Megan and she disappeared. She herself goes to her husband Scott and talks about the man he saw the day before from the window.
The police grab the string and try to hang the crime on Rachel herself. After all, the girl worked as a nanny in the house of her husband, and a drunk woman could easily throw out her anger at her. Megan's body was found in the forest. It turned out that she was pregnant, but not from her husband, and not even from her lover. Rachel recalls that the day before she saw a girl getting into a car with her ex-husband Tom. In order not to go to jail, the alcoholic pulls herself together and begins her own investigation.
Roles and actors of the movie “Girl on the Train” 2016
The picture was shot in a very interesting style - the narration is conducted immediately on behalf of several characters.

Rachel’s constant flashbacks leave many puzzles, and throughout the tape it is impossible to predict how the tragic story will end.

She, like no one else, knew all the characters in her book and made a choice based on her own vision of the future thriller.
Emily Blunt - Rachel Watson
The charming actress temporarily turned into a descending woman with shaking hands and lips. Although according to the scenario it should be at least 20 kg more, it was decided to give this role to Blunt. The actress coped with the role - a more dramatic character she still has not yet to play. Aged due to her addiction, but still very beautiful woman quits drinking to find out the truth about her ex-husband. Only at the end of the film, her blinders finally fall off her eyes, and she sees the true picture of her failed marriage.

Justin Theroux - Tom Watson
Choosing the actors for the film “Girl on the Train” in 2016, Chris Evans was approved for the role of Tom. But soon he was forced to leave the set, as he was invited to star in Mark Webb's “Gifted” film. Justin Theroux gets the role and gets used to the image of a respectable family man. In the final scene, the whole truth about his essence is revealed, and he dies at the hands of the once beloved women.
Rebecca Ferguson - Anna Watson
The young actress got the role of the faithful wife of Tom and the mother of his child. She unconditionally believes in everything that her husband says. Fearing for the life of her child, she tries not to make contact with his ex-wife. But she will become the whistle-blower and help Rachel get rid of the demons of the past.
Luke Evans - Scott Hipwell
To play the role of a deceived spouse fell to the handsome Evans. It was originally planned that Jared Leto will get used to the image of this character. But he preferred a different project to this film. But Luke perfectly coped with the role of a widower, who is trying to find out whose child was carried under the heart of his brutally murdered wife.
Like most deceived husbands, he clings to the fact that the fact of infidelity sounds from the mouth of an alcoholic. But in his heart he understands who the man she saw next to his wife was. There will be no happy end for this hero.
