Customer Reviews

One of the many excellent presentations of David Suchet as Hercule Poirot.

A solicitor, Gilbert Entwhistle (Robert Bathurst), kidnaps Poirot and takes him to find out why Robert Abernethie died and if someone was responsible. To compound things, ditsy relative Cora Galaccio was cut down in the prime of life. What Poirot finds is far more convoluted and sinister. We discover this along with Poirot. One of the things that makes Agatha's writing a tad convoluted is the number of characters that are hard to keep separated in your mind. This movie presentation is starting to approach character overload. We get the litany and all the “begets.” One fun advantage of watching this presentation is that the camera slows down and either brackets the important clues or shows Hercule making the iconic "That is a clue" face. In any event, if you can second-guess the "who", the "why" will be pretty difficult until one of the final clues near the end. The film was made in 2005 when some people still had square televisions. Still, even with the soft focus, it is fun to look at the period and the countryside.
