Excellent!

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2018)

It is excellent however the very best one of all the productions is without doubt David Suchet's Poirot and I've seen all the versions. While Michele Pfeiffer gives the bravura performance here I'm afraid she's no match for Jessica Chastain in the Suchet's version. Johnny Depp does an adequate job as the bad guy however Toby Jones does a far, far better job in Suchet's version. Here's a brief quote from these pages about Toby Jones: "one of greatest stage and screen actors both in his native Great Britain and internationally". All in all the Suchet version of Murder on the Orient Express is substantially better in the acting department than this version. In the Suchet version the tension is held right up to the very end. You just don't how everything will pan out in the Suchet version until the last minute or two. This is still an excellent production but the Suchet version is far better in every single respect.
