Why?
I love a good Agatha Christie movie and this one has been on my radar for a while.
What in the world?
Hercule Poirot finds himself in the midst of a case with a murdered heiress, her maid, and Angela Lansbury.
Personal thoughts
This movie was kind of a drag. I think just because the book had so much intrigue and clues that the movie was just trying to keep everything of import. This movie is 2 and a half hours long and it took until an hour in for the murder. I suppose the information was important, but I don't think I needed to see a couple of the things that happened. It would have made sense if they had taken some things out. I think it was just too slow for my brain.
Score
I have to give this movie a 4 out of 10. It was slow, but I did enjoy the performances in this movie. I think the actor for Poirot was really interesting and it was his first movie. I mean that makes sense I think. I have no idea. I also have no idea of the Agatha Chrisite book order, so that just adds an extra layer of uncertainty to the whole Poirot origin story. I was just really surprised to see Angela Lansbury show up because she's one of the only older actresses that I can recognize.
Watch what you love,
