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.

I can't even waste a review on this... Just don't waste this hour and a half. I'm seriously disappointed the the cast who accepted to act in this joke of a movie.

It's entertaining enough. The whole plot seems ridiculous, although the motivations of real life murders are often just as completely bizarre. So 3 stars might be the more appropriate rating.

What Happened, Keira? We were huge fans, but this was torture. The first 15 minutes were painful, and the rest of the movie was just bafflingly empty. The whole thing felt pretentious and aimless. It makes you wonder why a star like Keira would even bother with such a poor script. Was this just for the paycheck? Truly a letdown.

We really enjoyed this film, good acting, interesting plot. We couldn't wait to find out the explanation for what was happening, and it didn't disappoint. It would have been better if some of the characters had been explored more as they didn't seem to have much to do, but apart from that we'd all recommend it.
