Awful performance

Rating: 3/10 (12 November 2017)

To say it short: a film, which made Branagh to show how awesome Branagh is, isn't worth watching. Even from the trailer: "My name is Hercule Poirot, and I'm probably the best detective in the world". Really? Was Poirot a poser with strange moustache? I think not, and that starts to annoying in the first 10 minutes.
I was unlucky to read the book after that film- I lost everything - pressure, interest...all that feelings killed that film, which doesn't grab your attention at all. Numerous times I've heard that the film is very beautiful itself. Of course, for a drama. But not for a detective story. Just imagine - the train got under the snowfall, left in the mountains, when another one can come. It's not 100%, that the help will come soon, and you are the only one, who is left to find a murderer! It's sounds like a true horrible detective, which had to have atmosphere like "Se7en". As I didn't know who the murderer was, for me it was the only interesting thing. As Branagh left time only for his character, though, we didn't know anything about Poirot, except that he is arrogant and thinks of himself as "Ã¼bermensh". The film clumsily tells us that all characters are connected to Armstrong. That can't be a coincidence - no way count, Princess, doctor etc. could be in one place occasionally. Leading to one logical statement, who the murderer is. (still, I wouldn't write it). I put 3 only because of great cast - Judi Dench, Depp (though he performed poorly, for a person who receives such threats), Dafoe and others. Thanks for the spoiled book, will never watch another film directed by you.
