Tom M Winner has to be one of the worst directors who ever made major budget movies. This is so poorly put together that even the high powered cast members can't raise a flicker of interest. So someone dies, someone killed them...so what? Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Joanne W So bad it was good. Even better with edibles. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/25 Full Review Kate S Evil Under the Sun is one of my favorite movies with Peter Ustinov in a somewhat comic rule. Part of the appeal of that movie is the music it is all Cole Porter and the movie seems to be choreographed to it. This movie is missing a decent score or any type of music that actually works for a mystery and some of the worst sound I've ever heard in a movie. People standing in a room talking are hard to hear and there's an echo because the room is empty. I thought that was something professionals avoided at all costs . Whoever did the sound and the voices was very inconsistent. That said it's a typical Agatha Christie mystery with a lot of very forgettable acting. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Ramona L I guess my perspective goes against the majority, but I find Utinov to be the worst Poirot imaginable. His accent is pitiable as is his acting. The other stars seem to be playing for laughs. Every performance is over the top. I really wanted to like it. I tried, but didn't succeed. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Alec B Ustinov is still a great Poirot but this is mostly a bore. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Ted B This has to be the worst of all the big-budget, star-studded Agatha Christie movies. The acting was certainly ''made for TV' level. Peter Ustinov was the most consistent in his role as Hercule Poirot. However, the rest of the cast simply did a walk-through of their roles. It was disappointing for me to see the likes of Lauren Bacall and Piper Laurie performing at a subpar level, although I do realize they were both at the end of their careers and the $$ was good. The adaptation of one of Agatha Christie's less popular novels did leave a lot to be desired. There were way too many 'red herrings' that were easy to discount. Perhaps what disappointed me the most was that I was able to figure out the ending well before it even happened. I did enjoy the location shots. The cinematography was very good.
