Saddled with a contrived plot and plodding pacing, The Woman in Cabin 10 throws narrative logic overboard and ultimately sinks.

They might've made this movie because they got a good deal on the yacht, but nevertheless they've built a fairly effective thriller. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
I couldn’t help noticing how quickly the script sprung a leak,...never to recover despite the yeoman efforts of star Keira Knightley to serve as a port in a storm of clichés. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
Director Simon Stone seems lost about what to do with this contrived premise and fails to take advantage of its natural claustrophobic nature. Go to Full Review

3/4
The Woman in Cabin 10 generally comes off as a solid adaptation that packs its fair share of agreeable twists and turns. Go to Full Review

B-
The first half tends to drag, while the payoff conclusion seems rushed and predictable. Still, 'The Woman in Cabin 10' has its moments—nail biting as they are. Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ Jan 1
This boat-based tale is a slightly uneasy mix of Agatha Christie-style crime-solving and modern-day psychological thriller. Go to Full Review

TT G @RT55562891 5d i dont know which film all the negative reviewers saw and which expectations they have. the plot is straight forward and the story is very logical, not very mysterious, but keira plays okay and the others too. Its like an average Agatha Christie case. but not as bad as its negative reviews say. For a cinema movie its too much like a tv murder series, but its more than okay. Keira is never overrated. the film is just skindeep murder case, but "knives out" isnt better for example. See more Alaina J @Arielunderthesea Aug 30 The Woman in Cabin 10 had me guessing and intrigued from the beginning. Certain events began taking place among the characters and I couldn't have much of a guess who the antagonist actually was or if it was multiple. The film does a good job of allowing you to suspect people based on subtle actions or words without really being able to know who the bad guy was. The film has a couple of "ah ha" moments that are fulfilling and I want to watch it again to look back on certain scenes now knowing the outcome. The acting was solid all around and the scenes of the open water, islands, etc. was beautiful. If you like mystery and suspense, you might like this film. See more Rain R @RT82913162 Aug 29 The acting left a very great deal to be desired and the story line was completely unconvincing. See more Sparky K @Steve298 Aug 20 Really entertaining film. Honestly I think other people see a different film to me. What’s with all the hate? See more John P @JohnAPitts Aug 6 I actually quite enjoyed the build up and twist in the movie. Give this a stronger build up or close you might just have a great movie. See more Antoinette D @RT95638828 Aug 3 Trash. Must be tough times for Kiera See more Read all reviews
