A rather good detective movie.

Rating: 9/10 (11 December 2017)

This is a rather good detective movie based on Agatha Christie's popular crime novel. It features an all-star cast aboard the Orient Express, in which the train's derailing was complicated by a murder. This leaves the only detective on board, Hercule Poirot, to solve the crime.
The film starts off pretty slow, and it was rather too theatrical in the beginning scenes in my opinion. However, the movie picks up steam when we are introduced to the passengers on board the Orient Express and the suspense builds after the murder takes place. While there is little or no action at all in the movie, much of the excitement and intrigue lie in each of the character's testimony and whereabouts during the crime, and Poirot's investigative methods.
Solid acting by everybody, and plenty of unpredictability on the whodunit question. A real attention grabber and some emotional drama and humor mixed in as well.
Grade A-
