Movie Reviews of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
Movie Review: Starts out slow but has a surprising ending
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie drags on for the first 35 minutes or so. They could have easily condensed introducing the enormous ensemble of characters into 10 minutes or so.
The first 6 minutes does not have any dialogue. However, it contains important information for the movie. You may want to watch it twice, so that you can catch everything that is going on in the introduction.
The only things that kept me from turning this movie off in the beginning were the costumes and the sets. This movie is a period piece set in the 1930's. The train ride was first class all the way.
This movie was worth watching for the costumes, the sets, the brief appearance by Sean Connery, and surprise ending. I recommend it for a one time viewing.
Summary of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
Hercule poiroti is a dapper detective for whom murder solving is a precise intellectual excercise. Poirot agrees to interview all aboard the famous orient express calais coach hoping to find the killer of an american millionaire before the local police arrive. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/17/2006 Starring: Sean Connery Ingrid Bergman Run time: 128 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Sidney LumetJust 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 Fine
