Ideas Wanted: for a 'The Girl On the Train: Edited' cut...

As a huge fan of the original novel, I was really let down by Tate Taylor’s adaptation of THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN. I feel like sloppy editing and a few clunky bits of dialogue and exposition ruined what otherwise could have been a great film. The main cast were all great and I want to see if, with a tighter edit that fixes the pacing issues and removes the cringeworthy scenes, there’s an actually good film hidden underneath. I’m currently working on editing the film and so far, I’m removing the scenes that I found to be awkward and unnecessary. I’m looking to make more changes and among the ones I’ve considered are removing the different narratives and making it completely revolve around Emily Blunt’s character but I’m still on the fence about that. What do you guys think? Any ideas for changes that could improve on this film? Would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
