Slow paced to build suspense, this murder mystery kept you guessing til the last moments. A superb cast with lots of plot twists, and a satisfying conclusion.
Well acted, Wells directed, and well presented. A delightful retelling of an old story!
I just watched this new version of "Murder on the Orient Express" last night and was very disappointed in it. As an avid fan of Agatha Christie's Poirot, I noticed that there were quite a few things things that were not quite right. First, foremost and most noticible was the appearance of Hercule Poirot. The moustache was all wrong and the real Poirot had no chin hair at all. Also, his manerisms were quite a bit off. The story line and some of the characters had been altered. The Kenneth Brannagh version of this movie was not a very good depiction of the original story. I doubt that I will ever watch this version again. I can only hope that the new version of "Death on the Nile" will be more true to form. Sorry but there is really only one great Poirot actor.....David Suchet IS Poirot!
I have read a lot of reviews and almost didn't watch the movie because of the big number of bad ones. But as far as I can tell the only reason that people didn't like it is because it is a remake from a classic. But let me tell you, it was good very good. Maybe the classic one was better but movies need to be remade for modern audiences. That being said go watch it, you will not regret it.
