Murder on the Orient Express (2017)

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

If you're going to attempt to direct a movie based upon a train maybe actually take a train. At least watch a movie that takes place upon a train. Maybe read the book. Completely missing the claustrophobia of a train, this debacle attempts to be stylish according to a nerd and CGI. The story that so pointedly got across the idea of an enclosed area with so many people as suspects that allows no one to breathe, has completely been missed here. People don't bump into each other. Nobody has to stand aside to let someone past. Instead the train scenes are envisioned by someone who thinks a truck could be driven through a train and nobody would even have to step aside as long as it looks cool on CGI.This was a movie that could have been shot exactly as Twelve Angry Men in a single room. Probably should have. But in the modern tradition where people need CGI to remain entertained and feel more isn't enough, it's about expected.Compared to crap like San Andreas this is an absolute masterpiece, but that's like being the tallest midget.

The original is so amazing but they butchered it so much here it is laughable. Watch the David Suchet version -- that one is a bone-chilling masterpiece.

Slow paced to build suspense, this murder mystery kept you guessing til the last moments. A superb cast with lots of plot twists, and a satisfying conclusion.

As a huge fan of Agatha Christie, I find myself thrilling by the idea of another movie adaptation of her books, and I was not disappointed by this one. This remake is a very interesting try, with good casting, amazing photography and very good acting from Kenneth Branagh. It is clear a great challenge to play this role after David Suchet, who's by far my favorite Poirot of all times and the most talented Peter Ustinov, and, in my opinion Branagh did more than very well. In fact his interpretation of Poirot was a fresh one, focusing on Poirot's wits instead of supporting his usual "caricature" side. Of course Agatha Christie at her books praised this features of her detective, but even though, the main power of Hercule Poirot always was his little gray cells and his upright character, qualities that Kenneth Branagh brought to life successfully.However, I cannot give more than 7 stars because of that almost unbearable,dreadful mustache! Whose idea was that and Why? Please, if there's another movie, spare us from this mustache. Also there were some useless fighting scenes and the completely unnecessary mention of a past love of Poirot. That spoiled Poirot's true nature according to the books. In all, a good movie, worth watching.
