Johnny Depp as Poirot seemed like an obvious and genius choice. How'd they miss that one?

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2018)

The David Suchet version is still my favorite. This story is an important one in the life of Poirot and the end should be emotionally wrenching. I didn't get that same sense of conflict and emotional distraught, confusion, and rage. When I first saw previews I was so excited because I thought Depp was going to play Poirot. I can see him being the best Poirot ever!!! I'm so confused about the casting. Why? The way he throws himself into a role and embodies the character so fully, not to mention his convincing french, and wry smile. Wow, what a miss.
