... I found myself surprisingly absorbed, even though I've known whodunit since I was prenatal. Go to Full Review

Glafira Regina O @Glafira_Regina 11/24/2024 The attempt to modernize the novella falls flat—replacing the general with a fitness coach, the princess with a ballerina, and instead of searching for clues in newspapers, the hero digs through a laptop borrowed from Cassetti's business manager. The film had the potential to be good, but it’s ruined by cheap sets and costumes. I absolutely can’t believe that a woman with gothic makeup from the 2000s and a sequin sweater was a friend of millionaires. And for some reason, Poirot is involved in a romance with a woman, which just doesn’t fit the character. See more 11/22/2019 I thought it was pretty solid; if there hadn’t been any previous versions to compare to, sadly this movie would have a much higher rating on here. Nonetheless, the story is still a great one, and the portrayal here well done. See more 08/20/2019 Terrible! The 1974 original with Albert Finney and Lauren Bacall is a treasure. This one is a mess. Hercule Poirot with a laptop? Oh, please. This one is embarrassingly boring. See more 04/27/2018 It is a great story, but does not translate into the most exciting movie. See more 03/02/2018 Alfred Molina never manages to capture Poirot in his full glory, but thanks to some smart storytelling and modern updates, Murder on the Orient Express somewhat manages to present Agatha Christie's famous novel.
