I had huge hopes for this one, coming off of Gone Girl, most had expected a masterpiece. Sadly, this one let me down a bit. It pulls off that moody, atmosepheric vibe well and it is definitely a new type of role for Emily Blunt, playing the sad sack, non-glam, non desired alcoholic mess. However, what held me back from giving this a similar ranking to the far superior Gone Girl is the conclusion. YOu can't unsee the ending from a mile away as there may as well be giant Red arrows pointing to who the culprit is. Where as Gone Girl took twists and turns with how the story played out, unfortunately this train is a bit too straight-edged from beginning to end.
3/4
