      Steve D A fairly good adaptation of one of the lesser books. Sutherland is great however. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Audience Member PiITIFUL--Set in 1954 - wtittenby someone who knows nothing about Agatha Christie' or the era. I've nothing against swearing, but to put this in a 1950's period piece,is completely ridiculous. I was just waiting for a punk to appear and rap to be played in the background. I feel very very sorry that these excellent actors were put through this ordeal. Formulaic- you bet your life it is . The Telegraph gave it 4 stars and the Guardian 5 stars . Presumably out of 5 ???????. To prove I'm very comfortable with swearing --it's SHIT. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Great jazz, sinister film noir, unpredictable plot...and thoroughly memorable. One of my top 5 of all time. Leaves one with the question... Is finding justice always right and good? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member a good agatha christie adaptation let down by the jazzy music. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
