If you liked Clue (1985) for not only it's comedy, you'll enjoy this

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2018)

Like the title I found this drama extravaganza was very entertaining leaving you guessing and suspecting alongside the dashing detective Poirot and his amazing mustache.
The acting is superb in this film, which is not surprising when you consider the list of actors, and the filming is incredibly well done. Using creative angles you rarely feel that the cramped setting of a couple of carts in a train is ever an issue, rather it's taken advantage of well by using the long lengths of the carriages. You're sometimes intimately placed in the middle of the conversation and sometimes looking down upon the cast which you can recognize immediately by the unique styles of each and every one.
If you, like I, have not seen the original we can consider ourselves lucky (at least according to user Bob-the-movie-man) and I do consider myself lucky to have went into this movie knowing about the original but not yet seen it. I will certainly take the time to watch the classic as well, as should we all, all the more reason to if you liked this film.
Short summary: While twists and turns are expected in a murder mystery you'll find yourself enjoying the ride even if you do solve it before the reveal is shown. I do find myself missing some comic relief but I guess I am comparing it too closely to Clue. A cozy and enjoyable ride on the orient express, don't forget your ticket!
