I loved Girl on a Train, after I realized there were different characters being talked about, and different timelines. Man, what a confusing mess at first! I had to start again, making mental notes as to who and when. Once I got past that barrier, I thought it was fantastic. I understand the movie is set in New York (?) not in England. That was a disappointment to me. I haven't seen the movie, nor did I see Gone Girl. The book, Gone Girl was creepy. I thought it was good, but unsettling.
They did the movie of Gone Girl in Cape Girardeau, MO, which is near me. And used local extras. Everyone was really stoked about it, and all the stars mingling around. I guess I'm too much an old grump to be star-struck, but it was fun just sitting back and watching the hub-bub. They had star-sighting reports on the local TV channel every night, haha.
