Humor, Wit, Charm, Mystery

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2017)

I need to sit down to watch the other Hercule Poirot actors who had played the famous Belgium Agathe Christie detective. But really Kenneth Branagh does quite well accent and with wit and charm.
As he can be fussy but he is smart. And he tries to get in some rest after doing one case, but then he does not go to the case but the case goes to him on the you guess it, Orient Express.
As a despicable person who has ruined so many lives, is found murdered as will not give you who it is and who done it as need to see it for yourselves.
But that are twelve people on board in all different walks of life and nothing in common except murdering the despicable person. As it could be anybody on the train. And that Poirot must postpone his rest and get the bottom of what happened and why the murder was on the train and the motive.
Ranging from a doctor(Leslie Odom), the man's butler(Derek Jacobi), a lawyer by trade(Josh Gad), a professor(Wiliem Dafoe), a socialite(Judi Dench), and a Governess(Daisy Ridley who proves to have a future beyond Star Wars). Among the culprits.
As this man also seemed to be a criminal himself and rubbed people the wrong way. Will the great detective do so or will he be defeated? As for those that have not read the book or seen the original movie or TV shows, prepare for a surprise.
Kenneth B does it acting and directing!
