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.

2/5

A film thematically sawed in half, as if penned by two entirely different minds, styles, and social politics, glued in the middle by Keira Knightley‘s determined performance.

Quería pasar un rato entretenido y lo tuve. No de forma irónica, es un thriller muy solvente y dura menos de dos horas. Tiempo bien invertido.

Just give me a better plot and a believable character in the next inevitable entry in the "Woman" series.

Keira Knightley is great but the story is confusing and meh. Book was so much better.

This movie was just ok. You got your hands on a yacht and decided to re-make Flight Plan. Congratulations, this is what you end up with.

First half of the movie was pretty interesting and then the back half left quite a bit to be desired.

I might have liked this better if all the male characters hadn't been either evil or useless while all the power/boss positions were held by women. It's just a little too blatant in its politics. I think it would have worked much better if the main character had rekindled her relationship with the photographer, creating a romance element, and if the photographer survived. Also, if the head of security had been male it might have added some measure of balance.

Silly plot, the 1st half of the movie was promising, but the 2nd half was an absolute mess. I don't like movies that treat viewers like they are 7 years old. Bad movie
