A Remake in Search of a Purpose

Rating: 5/10 (22 July 2018)

Is it a lack of creativity or imagination that leads movie makers to endlessly retell the same stories? Especially with a story like "Murder on the Orient Express" - which was done to perfection only a short time ago starring David Suchet - it's not surprising that the all star cast really had nothing new to add to Agatha Christie's masterpiece. The decision to take a character from a completely different Christie mystery and plunk her onto the Orient Express was also puzzling. Are there no new tales to be told?
