“My name is Hercule Poirot and I am probably the greatest detective in the world.”
This has the right amount of drama, intrigue and comedy, and it is beautifully filmed. Poirot’s mustaches are extraordinary – really! it is worth going just to see them
Since you know the story how do you keep your audience? Fill the cast with exceptional actors.
The cast is strong and deep, and in addition to Mr. Branagh, it features: Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Dame Judi Dench, Daisy Ridley, Leslie Odom Jr, Josh Gad, Johnny Depp, Derek Jacobi, Lucy Boynton, Michelle Pfeiffer, Olivia Coleman, Sergei Polunin, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. All are suspects – well, except the victim.
It doesn’t replace the 1974 “Murder on the Orient Express” maybe you should just rent that DVD; but then you will miss out on the mustaches.
