Orient express. Multiple passengers in first class. So is Hercule Poiroit. Murder. Whodunit?
Many people have a chance. But who took it? Poiroit is methodical, intelligent, has power of deduction and is proud to be called best detective in the world. But he too is baffled until he finally solves it.
It’s hard to capture the details of a novel in a movie of less than 2 hours. But director does a decent job. He also plays the lead character. It’s the snow that finally helps solve the murder.
Acting is ok. Johnny Depp impressed with his cameo. Other big names play supporting roles to make the movie interesting and keep the excitement.
This movie is based on one of the best novels of Agatha Christie by same name.
Positives: Story.
Negatives: Doesn’t have all details.
Recommend watching if you are Agatha fan.
