The Woman in Cabin 10-Netflix

Went in expecting a limited series but it was a Hallmark quality script. Needed more time to develop characters and motives. I love Guy Pearce but this was not good. It felt like it was originally going to be more but maybe ran out of money?

Anyone else?

Thanks for saving me the time of watching it!

I saw the trailer for this yesterday when I was turning on Netflix to watch Poldark. At first, I thought it might be something to give a chance, but as the trailer went on, I decided I'd seen the entire premise of the movie and there would be nothing more revealing/entertaining to be gained by watching it. It looked just as unfulfilling as this post probably is.

It totally sucked.

Kept thinking it would have been better if Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the lead instead of her thankless supporting role.

I didn't know anything about the source material, but the movie was a dud. I always love a good mystery/whodunnit on a big boat, but this wasn't enjoyable.

Like I said, not enough back story for the characters. Why was the doctor being blackmailed? What was our main heroine's trauma aside from seeing a woman murdered but what was that story?

As I said, needed to be an 8-10 part series to flesh it out.

I read the book and forgot it immediately. It came out in the wake of “The Girl on the Train”.

The only thing I remember from it is that the rich guy/suspect is described as wearing a tiny swimsuit in a hot tub. I wanted to see that visualized.

It’s like an old 70’s made for TV movie (absurd plot, inexplicable character decisions and motivations) but with a bigger budget.

Ridiculous numbers of plot holes and major stretches of belief that made the whole thing C- at best.

It was awful. A total bore.
