Mediore Piece Of Nothing

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2018)

Oh my God. How can it really be possible? A great cast, with such stars as Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Depp or Daisy Ridley among those, pretty good director and the lead character who is Kenneth Branagh, seemingly lossless plot, a classic Agatha Christie train murder story... and what we have is a horrible, grotesque, crooked, over-played, over-done, over-cooked, over-made up, over-made, over-performed, over-everything piece of truly fetid garbage. What is even more insulting, the movie is a tedious endless ebb boredom fest.
Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two and a half stars, and stated that he felt it focused too much on Poirot to the detriment of the other characters, adding, "Never let it be said the director misses an opportunity to place his star front and center, unfortunately relegating just about everyone else in the obligatory International All-Star Cast to a paper-thin character with one or at most two defining personality traits.
Truly so.
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club rated the film a C+ and complained that Branagh's "erratic direction-more interested in cut glass and overhead shots than in suspicions and uncertainties-bungles both the perfect puzzle logic of the crime and its devious solution."
Very truly so.
Empty, shallow, void and null nothing. Avoid this
