      Audience Reviews for Death on the Nile

      • Apr 04, 2022

        I am admittedly not the world's biggest Agatha Christie fan, so once again reader, as you did with my review of 2017's Murder on the Orient Express remake, take my critique with caution, especially if you are a fan of the illustrious author's many drawing room murder mysteries. Kenneth Branagh returns as director and as the world's greatest detective, Hercule Poirot, with arguably the world's greatest mustache (as I said in 2017, it appears like his mustache has grown its own mustache). Death on the Nile takes the murder-on-mode-of-transport formula and leaves us with a gaggle of red herrings and suspects to ponder until the inevitable big conclusion where our smartypants detective reveals everything we had no real chance of properly guessing no matter the clues. Again, these kinds of impossible-to-solve mysteries are not for me, but I know others still find antiquated pleasures with them (Christie was the best-selling author of the twentieth century after all). What I don't find as pleasing, and I'm sure even ardent whodunit fans would agree, is how cheaply this whole production looks. The budget was almost twice as much as Orient Express but it's really a chintzy-looking cruise ship with one of the most obvious green screens for a big budget film. It takes away from the grandeur quite a bit, especially knowing the original 1978 movie was shot on location in Egypt. Another aspect that didn't work for me was the added back-story for Poirot, including the explanation for why he grew his preposterous mustache. Did we need a mustache origin story? Did I need an attempt to better humanize this fastidious detective? If you were a fan of the overly serious and stately Orient Express, and of Christie in general, I'm sure there's enough to recommend a new Death on the Nile. Branagh clearly has passion for this character and as a steward of this cherished material. However, for me, it took too long to get the movie really rolling, the characters were too lackluster, and there are too many tonally bizarre and uncomfortable moments, like Gal Gadot quoting Cleopatra while being, I guess, dry humped by Armie Hammer against an Egyptian relic. As Poirot's mustache, which will be given top-billing in the third film, would say, "Yikes." Nate's Grade: C

        A enjoyable thriller/Mystery with good twists and turns and great acting especially Branagh as Periot. The scenery was breathtaking and the script is methodic and ends with great crescendo. I did maybe like his version of Murder on the Orient express a bit more but do recommend this installment. 02/20/2022

        This overly lavish production does make you appreciate the workman like efficiency of the 1978 film adaptation. Also I am befuddled as to why this case now has to be "personal" for Poirot.
