I'll Tell You Whodunit - Kenneth Brannaugh

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2017)

The true crime in this film is how badly Kenneth Brannaugh's hubris murdered a nearly century-old classic character and made a tremendous case for an ending to remakes, as this one totally spit on the 1974 Sidney Lumet version as well as the novel.
It's really a shame that Brannaugh once again used a film he was directing to highlight himself as much as possible at the expense of making a good movie. This could have been a modern day ensemble cast re-telling of a classic tale. But thanks to Brannaugh, it instead was a complete and unnecessary overhaul of a great story for the worse. For some reason, Hercule Poirot is now part James Bond, and while it was one thing to add a little diversity to the cast, it was completely ridiculous to then add a ton of garbage about racism.
If you're not very familiar with Agatha Christie you may find something good in the film. But if you are a fan, do not bother wasting 2 hours on this complete and utter dreck.
