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

Glafira Regina O 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review 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.
