Review of Murder on the Orient Express (1974) by Ryan G — 27 Sep 2011
A stunningly realized rendition of Agatha Christie's superb thriller. Setting itself apart from its contemporaries, Lumet embraces the whimsical fun of the train movie, while providing his world with a sort of glitzy dread.
Anchored by Albert Finney's wonderful turn as Hercule Poirot and Richard Rodney Bennett's waltzy score, Sydney Lumet turns out one of the most satisfying but perhaps morally complex conclusions to grace the genre.
