Relentlessly grim yet unengaging, despite a committed performance from Emily Blunt at the centre of it.

Fractured narrative can work brilliantly when a master like Christopher Nolan is in charge. This just felt like a boilerplate chick-lit murder mystery thrown into a blender to hide the thinness of its story.
