THE GIRL ON THE TRAINDirection: Tate TaylorActors: Emily Blunt, Haley BennettRating: 1/5Don’t be misled by the hype surrounding the release of one of the year’s most anticipated films. A purported psychological thriller with embarrassing Hitchcockian undertones, The Girl On The Train is dramatically inert and lacks even a semblance of the master’s style or storytelling skills. Genre clichés, portentous dialogue and red herrings galore leave us wishing the femme-centric potboiler would come to an end.

Unfortunately, one has to wait for an interminable two hours for …The Train to finally stop.
