Wow, what a snoozefest...

Rating: Null/10 (17 April 2020)

I have never watched anything Agatha Christie in my life for whatever reason so I can't measure this in comparison to the earlier film versions of this book. I only took interest in this film because of noticing the diverse and famous cast. But wow, what a boring movie. Fell asleep a few times during it. How do you gather an ensemble cast like that, some with real talent and charisma, and just waste them with a dessicated bore-fest? Nobody was interesting and the outstanding Dame Judi Dench was under-utilized with almost no lines. Too much snowy blizzardness, too much yawning, droning dialogue. Some of the minor roles were played like wallpaper. And my God, that freaking hideous mustache from hell, that intolerably cartoonish French accent and winking portrayal of Poirot that was simply nauseating. I would never sit through this again.
