A housebound woman witnesses a brutal act in the house opposite, but is all as it seems?
I have read the book, it's a great book, this is a moderately good adaptation of it. The issue here, was the pacing, at times it felt very dragged out, with some overlong scenes, and crazily long pauses, there's tension, and then there's overly slow, this couldn't find the balance.
We've had the woman on the train, and at times this just felt like a rehashed version of that, only that was much better.
I did think the acting was first rate, and despite such an illustrious cast, I did think that Amy Adams was the real standout.
It's watchable, I wanted it to be great, 6/10.
