It's relatively gripping for the first 20-30 mins. However, one soon starts to get irritated by the main character's actions. For a seasoned serious journalist, she sure looses her cool easily. It's a wee bit easy to see the plot development (when it comes, you are sort of disgusted how easy it was to guess). But what happens in the last 1/3rd is just pure silliness. Like someone was running out of time to finish the loose ends, and give a way out.

I read the synopsis of the novel, and it sounds like the original story actually would have made sense. What they tried to augment in the adaption ruined the whole thing.

This was a perfectly fine easy watch Netflix thriller. Keira Knightley gives a strong performance that rises above the material. The ensemble cast are fine, but border more on stereotypes. Hannah Waddingham seems to especially be firmly type cast now.

Some beautiful cinematography helps establish the Norwegian setting and atmosphere.

An easy watch for a rainy day.

A reporter played by Keira Knightley is brought in to cover a story on a luxury yacht as it sails from the UK to Norway. One night she thinks she seems someone go overboard, but there is no record of such a person ever having been on the boat. Is she losing her mind, or is something going on?

The film is a modern day take on the 1938 Hitchcock film The Lady Vanishes, using the same underlying concept. It starts off strong, gradually building up the background of the story and characters, and making good use of the setting on this beautifully designed boat, letting it almost become like another character.

However as time goes on, the twists and turns in the story start coming a little too unsatisfyingly fast. You don't get to enjoy the unraveling of the mystery as much as you could, and the implausibilities start building up.

The final act really falls flat, as things become increasingly ludicrous.

Overall not a bad film, starts off strong, but then descends into mediocrity. 6/10.

"The Woman in Cabin 10" sets itself up with all the right ingredients - big names splashed across the credits, a yacht so sleek it makes you wonder who you have to know just to step on deck, and the kind of British accents that dress up even the most ordinary line of dialogue. At the center, there's Keira Knightley, who has that rare thing you can't fake - she walks into a frame and you believe her, you root for her, even before she's said a word. Through her, we're pulled into this world of polished surfaces and bottomless champagne flutes, a fantasy of luxury until the whole thing tilts into something darker. A scream in the night. A shadow where it doesn't belong. Suddenly we're not watching a travelogue anymore; we're caught in a whodunnit, with everyone on board a suspect and nobody telling the truth. The trouble is, the story isn't as fresh as it thinks it is. You've seen this ride before - mystery built on familiar scaffolding, twists you can spot if you've been paying attention, and the occasional scene that exists only because the plot won't move without it. And yet - Knightley keeps you there. She carries the film on sheer presence, makes you forget the clichés long enough to see it through, and when the ending finally lands, it does just enough to leave you satisfied. Without her, this would've been another forgettable thriller lost at sea. With her, it earns its 7 out of 10, not great, not groundbreaking, but worth the watch.

"The Woman in Cabin 10" sails steadily through familiar thriller waters - neither sinking nor soaring. It's a film that sits comfortably in the middle: not particularly gripping, but not outright bad either. The performances are solid, with the cast doing a commendable job at keeping the tension alive, even when the story doesn't fully support them.

The main issue lies in the script, which feels a bit undercooked. The setup is promising, but the plot lacks the punch and complexity needed to elevate it beyond "just fine." The dialogue sometimes feels mechanical, and a few key moments that should hit hard simply drift by without much weight.

Still, "The Woman in Cabin 10" remains a passable watch - the kind of movie that's decent for a quiet evening but won't stick with you once the credits roll. Average through and through, with glimpses of what could have been a sharper, more memorable thriller.

Greetings again from the darkness. We all love a thrilling whodunit murder mystery. The best ones offer a magical blend of creative story, interesting setting, and fascinating characters. Writer-director Simon Stone (THE DIG, 2021) has delivered a film adapted from the best-selling 2016 novel by Ruth Ware. Frequent writing partners (SEBERG,2019) Joe Schrapnel and Anna Waterhouse collaborated with Stone to adapt the novel into a movie that looks great, and for the most part, fulfills the above listed requirements.

Keira Knightly stars as Laura Blacklock, an award-winning journalist who has been through a recent traumatic experience while on the job. Her editor (an underutilized Gugu Mbatha-Raw, BELLE, 2013) tries to convince Laura to take some time off. Instead, she accepts an invitation from billionaire Richard Bullmer (Guy Pearce) to join his gaggle of rich friends aboard a 3-day cruise on his ultra-luxury yacht. The purpose is to fundraise for cancer treatments as a tribute to his wife Ann, recently stricken with the dreaded disease.

The guest list includes the very rich and famous, and Laura's job is to cover the 'charitable' event. You'll likely notice pretty quickly that, just like in real life, movie billionaires are difficult to relate to and easy to dislike. Some are outright obnoxious like Adam (Daniel Ings, "The Gentlemen") and Heidi (Hannah Waddingham, "Ted Lasso"), while others are just a bit too creepy, such as Dr. Mehta (Art Malik) and the host, Bullmer. There's also rock star Danny Tyler (Paul Kay, "After Life"), a former party animal who has cleaned up his life and is intent on avoiding trouble and bad publicity.

Coincidentally (or not), Bullmer has hired Laura's ex-boyfriend Ben (David Ajala, "Star Trek: Discovery") as the official photographer for the cruise. Things are going awkwardly fine until the middle of the first night when Laura is awakened by a scuffle next door that results in someone going overboard. The conspiracy is in full mode once all passengers are accounted for and Laura is positioned as a bit unstable, given her insistence that she heard and saw someone go in the water. A couple of other interesting supporting roles are covered by Gitte Witt and Kaya Scodelario ("The Gentlemen"), neither of which belong to the rich group.

The rest of the movie comes down to Laura trying to solve this mystery, while certain forces are preventing her from doing so. It's a tale as old as time, and a common cliché - follow the money until you have your answer, and don't trust the filthy rich folks. There's another theme here that I found even more interesting, and that's the frustration and panic that Laura feels when no one believes her story. It's such a tough challenge. Her struggle and tenacity is what makes the film work. It's highly likely that the novel plays even better than the screen version, as some of what happens here seems unlikely in a real-world event. Still, there is entertainment value in trying to stay ahead of the curve.

Releasing globally on Netflix on October 10, 2025.

It might start out a tad predictable but the ending is solid and it will keep you guessing. The story shapes along at a decent pace and there's some stunning scenery.

If you enjoy thrillers/murder mysteries like 'A Murder at the End of the World' and 'Death and other Details' you'll enjoy this one.

I don't know why I still keep my subscription anymore. I haven't seen anything that deserved 5/10 for the last year. They made all the movies and series so miserable that I can't even watch them till the end.

This one is another example of terrible movie with everything is so easy to guess you can even tell what will happen based on clues they push on your face.

If you're scrolling Netflix for a quick and easy Friday night watch, this may fit the bill.

Keira Knightly plays a journalist, and at the outset I thought this might play out as a political thriller. But it's more along the lines of an Agatha Christie mystery, or more precisely Flightplan (2005) but on a yacht. There is a twist I did not see coming, at least in part due to its implausibility.

There are some great actors in supporting roles, but sadly they are given little to do as mostly one-dimensional characters. Gugu Mbatha-Raw in particular is criminally underutilized.

Nonetheless, a bowl of popcorn, 90 minutes, easy-peasy. I give it an extra star just for Knightley.

Another example of how it takes a genius like Hitchcock to make such material a winner. "Comedy! Chills! Chuckles!" Hitchcock fulfilled these advertising promises in 1938. "The Lady Vanishes" is still a delight today. "The Woman in Cabin 10" has a first-class leading actress in Keira Knightley. That saves it from being a complete flop. Otherwise, there's zero comedy, just a few embarrassing attempts at chuckles and far too few chills. But ... Keira Knightley is in it.

The woman in cabin 10 is a whodunnit set on a massive yacht owned by guy pierce. Keira knightley plays laura blacklock, a journalist that gets invited for a reason i dont know to go on the yacht but witnesses one night someone fall overboard. But no one on the ship apart from fellow crew member ben belives her. This is a better than everage mystery film that was both directed and acted well and it was interesting enough to keep me hooked.

Shame on Ruth Ware selling out this amazing book to Simon stone & Anna Waterhouse & Joe Shrapnel (I feel his name should be sprlled 'SHRAPNEL' in this case, as this was a demolition of the book! As in most cases - READ THE BOOK - SKIP THE MOVIE!!!!! This was such a disappointment, I cannot even begin to tell you.

LOVE the guy pearce. Writer laura blacklock (keira knightley) is invited to go along on a voyage of the aurora borealis, a large cruiser yacht. With the rich and elite. And oddly, one or more of the lovers from her past are also aboard. The other guests appear to be board members and donors to a charity supporting medical care for those who cannot afford it. So when laura sees a commotion take place, it appears someone has gone overboard. But everyone insists that no-one is missing! There seemed to be a HUGE number of crew on deck for the lineup at twenty eight minutes, but the yacht doesn't appear big enough to have berths for that many crew. And would they have invited writers and photographers aboard if they were planning on all these shenanigans... seems to be a bad choice. And... the end scene at the boat dock was pretty over the top. It's totally predictable but still interesting. Can't say more! Like an ep of below deck! Directed by simon stone. This needed some twists or surprises to make it more interesting. Story by ruth ware.

A solid book which could have made a great and gripping film if taken seriously. Unfortunately this film is all surface level with no intricacies or powerful moments or performances. The script is just not good enough, and the pacing, imagery, and production is going through the motions. This is a classic rubbish Netflix flick that looks nice on the surface but has no real substance. Disappointing from start to finish.

A movie full of excitement to be sure and always keeping you on edge I love a good murder mystery and thinking about all the possibilities, Keira was the perfect choice here such a great actress , the movie ended and I can still hear my beast beat, and that's how I know it was a good movie , I recommend it for all thriller lovers .

There is not much to say. The Woman in Cabin 10 is exactly what it sets out to be. Keira Knightley plays Lo, a journalist invited on what is supposed to be a multimillionaire's final voyage. She witnesses a murder, but no one believes her, and she becomes increasingly desperate to prove what really happened.

There is nothing particularly new here, but it is a slick and modern take on the classic closed room mystery. The cast is strong, the direction solid, and the pacing stays sharp throughout.

It is not a great film, but it is a good one. If you enjoy this kind of story, it is worth watching.

My giving 1 star is rare. I'm usually uncertain but this film? It deserves it - no doubt. It is all clichés you've watched all your life, and the pacing makes you wanna throw your laptop - the acting is horrendous, all the side characters - yuck. My fingers were holding onto the fast forward icon and still the movie was slow, empty, and predictable. Am I a precog?

A psychological thriller based on a 2016 novel of the same name, set on a massive yacht. I understand that quite a few things have been changed from the book, but as a film this wasn't bad at all. I think the ratings and reviews online are a bit harsh and this is a completely fine one-time watch with some good color-corrected visuals of the vast expanse of the Norwegian sea.

The climax was...not bad but to me, it didn't feel like the payoff was there a 100% Keira Knightley was good IMO, but the rest of the cast wasn't necessarily used well, which is...fine.

Watch this ~90 min film on a lazy evening if you have nothing else to watch. I didn't think it was bad, and maybe you won't either.
