Kenny is no Peter

Rating: 5/10 (5 February 2018)

If you have ever seen the first film version, this will leave you rather wanting. Truly a great cast and a great opportunity. It is well done, no question and all the acting is generally compelling. Some versions are their own standard, timeless and always great. This version will not likely stand the test of time as did the first. There is way too much CGI, too much fake snow, too much sugar coating, too much set acting. The story is no surprise and is fairly true to the book, but Poirot is just not convincing. Way too athlete jumping around, not enough true Belgium affect. Enjoy it but do yourself a favour and watch the original. The opening chug of the steam engine is unforgettable.
