Not as compelling as the Suchet version

Rating: 6/10 (28 November 2017)

This is a well-loved Christie story and movie, so I was looking forward to it. However, once you know the ending, the focus is on how the story plays out. To me David Suchet is the definitive Poirot. I'm not convinced that the simplicity of the original story-line, and familiarity with the Suchet portrayal leaves any space for a new version which breaks any new ground.
