Watchable

Rating: 4/10 (22 August 2018)

Nice try but not good enough. It is always hard to film an adaptation of such well known story. Throughout the movie you can see that they tried to stay with the original novel and add some new elements. I liked the scenery a lot, liked acting of amost all leads but ... The story has a lot of holes for someone not familiar with this novel or older adaptations. There are no any explanation of Poirot conclusion. The thing that bothered me the most is main character - Poirot. The actor was trying, but it was simply not good enough. His english with French accent is more like english with Polish (reminded me a lot of John Malchovich) . It was really bad and obviously this role did not fit to its actor. Maybe I am prejudice because in my mind there can be only one Hercule Poirot and that is David Suchet!
Watch if you want it's not that bad but it is not good either.
