The Girl on the Train [Blu-ray]

SET IN SAN FRANCISCO, THIS HAS A MAD TWIST THAT U WON'T SEE COMING.I CAN WATCH THIS FILM OVER & OVER, IT'S THAT BLOODY GOOD!!!!!!!

Excellent mystery thriller with plenty of twists

It goes without saying that David Fincher has unique visions when it comes to filmmaking, steering clear of any traditional styles. We saw this in "Se7en", "Fight Club", "Alien³", and even "Panic Room". Here, we have another interesting work from his cliché-free point of view.The movie is organized and shot impeccably; the plot is imaginative and complicated as well as entertaining, pulling you immediately in. Sometimes the story drags on and next move seems visible, but this is not a big deal. The acting of Douglas, Penn, Unger and and even minor roles is satisfying.Nicholas Van Orton, a workaholic investment banker, is such a hotshot that Michael Douglas was born to play: powerful, wealthy & brainy as well as cocky, mighty & haughty. Initially cool and reserved, then gradually less and less sure of himself, more and more perplexed when the things go awry. What a perfect character for Douglas as an actor...Overwhelmed by his father's suicide and his divorce, he built a psychological & emotional cocoon around himself. But his life began changing entirely when he became enmeshed in an outstandingly elaborate real-life game, given as a birthday present by his brother Conrad. The game, arranged by a sinister outfit called CRS, is a bizzare one: no defined rules & no specified beginning or end. The aim of the game is to give Van Orton what he's lacking in real life. Actually, he starts out DEAD but the game brings something in him to life. After multitudes of twists, turns and near-death experiences arranged by CRS agents and allies, the cocoon is shattered and he turns into what he was made to be: A HUMAN BEING.This is a film that will make you wish that you could play such a game in real life...

Very good movie

Slow to build the story and a bit of a let down at the end. Difficult to take to the main character.

My Grandma and I were just browsing through the channels, with it being late there wasn't much on. I came across this film with Michael Douglas and being a fan of his films I just left it on the background because I didn't know anything about it, as a soon as it started I was utterly taken in. The Game has you guessing and wanting more from start to finish. Just when you think you've cracked it, something else happens that really throws you off. I really enjoyed the ending too, sure it was kind of like "Oh was that all it came down to" but you never see it coming, so that makes up for it. Was thrilled when I saw it on Amazon. Brilliant film.

This movie is epic.I watched it at a friends place, and we both had no clue what the movie was about.At first it went rather slow paced. Then it really started, and it got extremely interesting.It's a master piece of a thriller by David Fincher.At times it movie seems unbelievable, and you constantly shake your head saying "no, that can't be...Oh My God"...yea. Buy it. This DVD Versino has got English, German, French and Spanish audio and subtitles.you will love this film.

I bought this on a whim and thoroughly enjoyed it. Ignore the fact it doesn't always ring true and enjoy.

Voici le 3e film de David Fincher après Alien 3 sorti le 26 août 1992 et Seven sorti le 31 janvier 1996 en France. Ce film montre l'influence d'un jeu et ses pièges.

Ich wünschte, ich könnte den Film jedes Mal wieder "zum ersten Mal" sehen
