Not Bad
I have not read the book, so I’m unable to make comparisons. Seeing as Agatha Christie thought this to be her best book, I’m guessing the novel was 10x better than the movie.

I felt the film itself moved quite slowly, despite being nearly 2 hours long. I felt myself at points losing interest. I’m thinking we needed a Marple or Poirot in this to spice it up a bit! I’m absolutely obsessed with the Poirot series; I find it thrilling, jam packed with twists, and so when I come across any Agatha Christie adaptation, I’m expecting them to live up to these high standards, but this fell short. I don’t believe there was enough time with the suspects for the audience to build cases against them. However I must say that the big reveal of the actual killer left me speechless, it made up for the rest of the movie being quite boring, otherwise my score would be a lot lower. I’d say instead of big named productions, stick to the BBC/ITV adaptations of Agatha Christie’s work….so much better.

By the way Glenn Close was fab.

A darker shade of Christie
As a Christie fan who was not familiar with this particular story, this feels much bleaker than the average novel by Dame Agatha.

It’s a competent whodunit, well-cast, well-performed. The second act feels a little slow, all the more because nearly every character is sour, bitter and miserable; they lack a certain variety in tone which could have made the dialogue more lively.

Still, it’s a solid effort and I was genuinely surprised by the denouement, which I won’t spoil.

6,5/10
