Review: The Girl on the Train

I write this gazing forlornly at a poster of David Fincher’s 2014 effort Gone Girl which sits happily on my wall amongst other cinematic ventures of similar degrees of excellency. In Fincher’s adaptation of the eponymous novel by Gillian Flynn, who also wrote its screenplay, abuse, both physical and emotional, and obsession reside as prominent themes nestled in the veins of its genuinely thrilling and, more importantly, watertight plot.
