Butchered on the Orient Express

Rating: 3/10 (23 November 2017)

Oh no, Oh dear! The ingredients of Ms Agatha's recipe were all there so what happened? That is 1/3 part each of mystery, suspense and intrigue. So why did this movie not deliver. After waiting excitedly since Dec 2016 I could only bare 55 minutes it was too painful and I walked out on this $USD55 million doozy.
Final straw was Kenneth Branagh's moustache which seemed to distract from his dialogue rather than add to it (a la Nanny McPhee). Think Horatio less Hercule.
Tragedy finally struck this movie with lack of flavour in the editing and soundtrack selections. I wasn't even bothered by the fact it was a remake of a 1974 classic as this is the pulling power of a great writer. It's just a pity the A List actors outshone this particular version not vice versa. Exception Branagh.
