Review of Murder on the Orient Express (2017) by Arianna B — 21 May 2018

I watched this movie on a long flight. Actually I did it twice. The first time though I didn't manage to watch it. I fell asleep and the only thing I remember was the monotone voice of Branagh accompanying me to sleep. I love Agatha Christie's mysteries and Poirot is one of my favorite characters, but when watching this movie, which however has a very beautiful picture, I end up wonder where is Poirot's charm and where is the mystery (or better, its resolution). It seems almost magical how our detective is just presenting the truth.

The all movie is kind of flat and lack the intrigue in trying to understand who has done what. It is so obvious that the hints that are given are not going to make any sense at the end.
