Movie Reviews of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
Movie Review: Outstanding Television Movie Mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed this tv movie Murder On The Orient Express when it was broadcast in 2001...the cast was superb playing passengers who were questioned by Alfred Molina's character Hercule Poirot...Meredith Baxter is a great actress who's role was enjoyable to watch. Peter Strauss is a wonderful actor...have been a fan of his from his television miniseries "Rich Man, Poor Man"...and Leslie Caron was superb in this movie. I will be getting this DVD when its released. I enjoyed the movie with Albert Finney and this tv movie...I'm a huge Agatha Christie films fan.
Summary of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express
This made-for-television mystery is a contemporary version of the Agatha Christie book that was made into the classic 1974 all-star version starring Albert Finney Lauren Bacall and Ingrid Bergman. This time around Hercule Poirot (Alfred Molina) uses modern technology to help solve the murder of a corrupt and devious Antiques dealer named Ratchett (Peter Strauss). Agatha Christie originally based MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS on the infamous Charles Lindbergh kidnapping case. This adaptation is given a current twist by making the despised Ratchett the abductor and murderer of the little girl of a wealthy software tycoon named Armstrong instead of a famed aviatrix. When Ratchett is found stabbed to death in his compartment and the train comes to a halt as a result of a rock slide that is blocking the tracks Poirot interrogates all of the passengers on the train. As the questioning proceeds Poirot realizes that virtually everyone has some kind of connection to Armstrong. But who is responsible for the grisly murder? Only Poirot can solve the mystery with the help of his "little gray cells of the brain" (and a few technological gadgets like a laptop computer palm pilot and VCR).System Requirements:Running Time 100 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MYSTERY/SUSPENSE Rating: NR UPC: 783722735824 Manufacturer No: ARD27358Similar DVD Movies
