Engaging and fun, even if you have seen the earlier versions

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2017)

Very entertaining film. Excellent cast and spectacular cinematography. I found this version much more compelling than Sidney Lumet's 1974 picture. I also appreciated Kenneth Branagh's more thoughtful interpretation of Hercule Poirot in contrast to Albert Finney's over the top histrionics in the earlier version. There are some dramatic scenes which are a departure from the earlier version, but they help develop certain of the characters and the overall story remains intact and suspenseful. Highly recommended.
