Branaugh's Back

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2017)

I was a huge fan of Kenneth Branaugh's early work. He was a fantastic director and made such great movies as Dead Again, Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing - but after he starred in the pitiful Wild, Wild West he seemed to disappear.
Murder on the Orient Express is a Branaugh vehicle. Branaugh is fantastic in the film and his direction is spot on. This is Branaugh showing what he once showed in the past.
While this movie has an all-star cast - Branaugh carries the entire film. Everyone has a fine contribution to the movie, but make no mistake Branaugh raises the bar on this film.
Well worth watching.
