John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture ... I found myself surprisingly absorbed, even though I've known whodunit since I was prenatal. Feb 6, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/19 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member It is a great story, but does not translate into the most exciting movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/27/18 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Have you ever listened to Justin bieber's baby song, its like that but a movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I couldn't even watch the whole movie. I made it about 40 min in before I had to shut it off. They tried to make it up to date for the year 2001... adding in a laptop, a stylus for a pda, cell phone, and a vhs tape... No. Just no. Furthermore, the train wasn't in a snow storm. The train stopped because of a landslide and boulders blocked the path. Since it's not cold out, anyone could get off the train! Ugh. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
