An enjoyable journey with a stellar cast, though the baggage we carry as modern viewers sees this ride derailed before its denouement.
A glittery ensemble cast relishes the snow-saturated journey of starring in Sir Ken’s polished, frisky version of Christie’s seminal whodunit. All aboard...
The big-name cast includes everyone from Johnny Depp to Judi Dench, but this snowbound Agatha Christie adaptation is a dusty, old-fashioned dud.
Murder On The Orient Express contains one of Christie’s cleverest plots and Branagh transforms it into lavish, razzle-dazzle escapism. There is luxury in everything from the costumes to the wonderfully fluid camerawork.
An old-fashioned murder mystery repackaged from the blockbuster set. Works despite itself.
A luxuriant moustache is the most interesting thing about Murder on the Orient Express, director/star Kenneth Branagh’s disappointingly suspense-free adaptation of Agatha Christie’s classic whodunnit.
Kenneth Branagh’s lavish, all-star take on the Agatha Christie classic is endearingly nostalgic.
