Mediocre At Best..

Rating: 6/10 (5 November 2017)

An attractively huge cast, mostly underutilised. A fleeting performance from Johnny Depp sadly, who is very watchable in more demanding roles. Poirot's French accent is difficult to understand and lots of his dialogue is missed. Prolonged overhead camera work at times on the train, although understandable is very unsatisfying as you can't feel the atmosphere in the room by seeing peoples facial expressions or mouths moving. It did have me enthusiastically guessing throughout, but after 90 minutes I found my eyes wanting to close and no real incentive to keep them open.
