Movie Reviews of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
Movie Review: Almost great
Summary: 4 Stars
Why do they have to change all the character's names??? This otherwise excellent treatment of an excellent book suffers from having all the people with new names. And my ultimate Poirot will always be David Suchet, followed by Peter Ustinov and then Albert Finney. The show is saved by excellent (if somewhat overacted at times) performances. They did avoid rewriting the story. Overall, top entertainment and one of the best mystery novels to date.
Summary of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
Just the name "Orient Express" conjures images of a bygone era. Add an all-star cast (including Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, and Lauren Bacall, to name a few) and Agatha Christie's delicious plot and how can you go wrong? Particularly if you add in Albert Finney as Christie's delightfully persnickety sleuth, Hercule Poirot. Someone has knocked off nasty Richard Widmark on this train trip and, to Poirot's puzzlement, everyone seems to have a motive--just the setup for a terrific whodunit. Though it seems like an ensemble film, director Sidney Lumet gives each of his stars their own solo and each makes the most of it. Bergman went so far as to win an Oscar for her role. But the real scene-stealer is the ever-reliable Finney as the eccentric detective who never misses a trick. --Marshall FineDrama DVD Video
