Such a waste of talent

Rating: 3/10 (12 February 2018)

Oh my. I saw the cast list and thought "Wow, this will be great", but unfortunately it was just a Branagh "look-at-me-playing-Poirot" film that got so many things wrong.
Branagh mumbles his way through the film and the amazing cast gets very little plot background or screentime. The camera angles at times are poor and it just felt soulless. There is hardly any tension, minimal background music/suspense and it was all a bit boring to be honest.
There are un-Poirot like action scenes, Branagh's moustache changes every time we see it, they are outside in the mountains without warm coats on and it just feels like it could have been a whole lot better.
I wanted to see drama and the great actors playing off each other and smart dialogue and direction, but none of that really happens.
And the scary thing is it looks like they want to re-make Death on the Nile - after seeing this remake, please DON'T. Thanks.
