Death on the rail 6.5/10

Rating: 6/10 (4 November 2017)

There's some outstanding points in this film namely
1) Kenneth Branagh - his portrayal of the world's greatest Belgian detective is the best I've seen by far
2) Cinematography- exceptional alpine backdrops . Hand-held camera-work was exceptional
3) Casting - superb all star cast
But then there's the points that weren't so good
Some of script / delivery of lines was unintelligible
Some of the CGI was brilliant but some was quite poor and at one point the train looked like a child's toy! Also it felt a bit like the Polar express at times and that's over twelve years old !
Overall the film just could have been so much better it had all the ingredients , setting , cast , story but it failed to deliver a top notch performance. Shame really as I really looked forward to this and grudgingly paid the extra Â£4 for a reclining chair !
It sets itself up for DEATH ON THE NILE - I just hope that's a better rendition .
Pad.A 6.5/10
