Review of Murder on the Orient Express (2017) by Jens S — 17 Sep 2018

The beginning of the film is perfect, an exotic location, a neat little introduction to the character, the sequences conjures up images of the great adventures of Lawrence of Arabia or even Indy Jones.

Then we are getting on the train. The cast is amazing, of course, so is the narrow setting of the train and cinematography. Once Poirot starts investigating, things flow rather perfectly too. What's missing is a major shock or twist, at least if you're somewhat familiar with the story.

They did a little action sequence here or there, but in the end the result is entertaining but a bit underwhelming.
