Kaascat Terrible movie. Bad adaptation, the characters are all wrong and the script tumbles clumsily between the book and constant anachronistic references both stylistically and thematically. The character of Brenda was particularly butchered. Too bad :/ Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Jack S Everyone loves a good mystery. But they'll not find one here. There's simply nothing particularly interesting or the least bit suspenseful in this one. Close and Anderson provide a bit of much needed fun, but unfortunately Irons and Martini as the leads, are both pretty but dull, lacking any chemistry together. Plus, the shockingly abrupt conclusion is unsatisfactory. The only creditable aspect of the film is the imposing country house and grounds which provide a colorful and atmospheric setting.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/02/23 Full Review Shi Yu L A bit boring. Wanted to stop watching in the middle because it's so dull. I just continued watching it only to find out who the killer was. Otherwise, I would have stopped watching it.

I know we're still in the age of the jittery camera - which one can assume is to fool the audience into believing they're not actually watching a movie, but somehow in the scene (I guess?) - but if they DP was going for a "Law & Order" vibe, they instead ended up with a "the-sea's-too-rough-to-film-straight" vibe. No one can be blamed for turning this movie off after only the first 15 minutes, though if you'd rather fast-forward to the last 15 minutes and get to the only part of a mystery anyone cares about - the solution - that's understandable, too. The thirteen individuals credited as "Producer" for this movie (nine of which are "Executive Producers") might be an indication of what went wrong here. See: "Too Many Cooks" cliche. Glenn Close, Christiana Hendricks, Gillian Anderson and Terence Stamp are all predictably good at what they do - and Julian Fellowes' adaptation does Christie's original story justice - which makes me wonder why the director didn't just trust these artists to carry the film and not muck it up with clunky camera and editing work.
