Critics Consensus

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.

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.

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.

3/4

The Woman in Cabin 10 generally comes off as a solid adaptation that packs its fair share of agreeable twists and turns.

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.

This boat-based tale is a slightly uneasy mix of Agatha Christie-style crime-solving and modern-day psychological thriller.

first of all, i feel keira’s performance is bad.. i feel like she have no emotion and rather stiff they trying to make her look like a crazy person, but it feels rushed and for the storyline: u can already guess the bad guy which not really intriguing there is not really a good plot twist but thumbs up for the bald girl look alike (forgot her name) good job at finding people who look alike

I considered the poor reviews and initially skipped this, but finally gave it a look weeks later. Glad I did! The investigative mania gets a bit intense, it’s obsessive, but it brings the story home with a satisfying ending.

Short British mystery that flies by if you're looking for a quick watch.

The Girl in Cabin 10 struggles to stay afloat despite decent mystery and suspense for a one dimensional lackluster conclusion.
