The original book was a competent enough thriller but felt sloppy in places; a haphazard story intentionally keeping you at arm’s length through some contrived twists before the final obvious reveal at the end. The 2016 movie, adapting this novel, predictably fell into the same pitfalls, helped somewhat by an inspired Emily Blunt in the driving seat, carrying the film on her very competent and talented shoulders....
