The Politically Corrected Agatha Christie

Rating: 1/10 (9 December 2019)

I watched the first 15 minutes of this film and realized that Branagh wanted to update Agatha Christie's nuanced and deep analysis of ethnics and ethical systems with a 'woke' version. I turned it off in disgust.
After seeing that the film had achieved an IMDB score of 6.5 and made money, I thought I'd give it another look. I love Branagh as actor. Maybe I was wrong?
I watched another 15 minutes somewhere in the middle. Branagh had cast a black actor in one of the roles. In the dialogue Poirot makes a point about the actor's race! What? Was Branagh's condescension and virtue signalling embarrassing for the actor? I cringed.
A nuanced story was turned into a caricature of woke morality. Terrible. Branagh had the chutzpah to believe he could fix the story and make it right.
