Review of Murder on the Orient Express (1974) by Gregory M — 26 Aug 2016
I had many issues with this movie. I guess mystery novels should remain books,because it's obvious most of the time they can't turn into satisfying movies. This is the case with "Murder on the Orient Express".
It's one of the most satisfying and well written novels of Agatha Christie but it didn't translate successfully on the big screen. The cast was incedible though I had my issues with Finney's portrayal of Poirot, I thought his Poirot didn't match the original Belgian detective's character.
Overall I think the movie managed to kill much of the mystery while feeling quite long and dragging.
