Customer Reviews

Definitely up to Agatha Christie standards

The movie was made as a period piece. There are great scenes of the express, landscapes, food, and other items. The costumes are also very plush. Even though the movie is star-studded, the actors do not outshine the characters they play. As usual, Hercule is in earshot of many private conversations that will be used later to his sleuthing advantage once processed by his little gray cells. On the train, Hercule (Albert Finney) is approached by an American businessman who tries to engage him for protection. Hercule turns him down, and the next morning, the businessman is dead. This movie has everything that makes Agatha Christie's movies great. Everyone is a suspect. Everybody could have done it. Only Hercule Poirot can figure this out. Naturally, Hercule Poirot must sort through the red herrings to extract the truth. This time, he comes up with two different answers. You need to add this one to your collection.
