Murder Derailed!

Agatha Christie's Murder On The Orient Express is an excellent movie. When picturing Agatha Christie's Hercules Poirot from her description of him as fastidious, small statured and preening, I always thought it was David Suchet's portrayal that came closest. So I was pleasantly surprised to find that Albert Finney's portrayal of Hercules Poirot was also excellent. The entire star studded cast is one that cannot be faulted. They are all superb, bringing to life each character along with all the intrigue and suspense from the book. You enter the time period and feel the frigid cold of the stranded snowbound train almost as if becoming a passenger on the Orient Express yourself. Like Death on the Nile and Evil Under the Sun, Murder On The Orient Express is mystery entertainment at its best. ~ Mrs. B.

My Introduction To Agatha Christie, And What An Introduction!

I'll keep this review short, because that way I won't give away the plot. I will say that Albert Finney, in his one turn as Hercule Poirot, earned an Oscar nomination. This was my first exposure to an Agatha Christie mystery. But, I can't resist temptation, and I have to tell you that the murderer is . . . .

Paradise Lost

What amazes me is why anyone would prefer Peter Ustinov's preeny whining Poirot with a British accent barely disguised. Albert Finney is exactly how I imagined Poirot to act and sound from reading Dame Agatha's novels.
If you don't believe me, go check out Mysterious Affair at Styles, Curtain, The ABC Murders, or the Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Hastings, the bellicose Belgian's Watson, describes him exactly as Finney plays him. The accent is more than genuine. Finney is a master at any role he takes on. The film is a sumptous visual feast and the only one the Christie family approved as the extra features attest.

Best train mystery with a twist

Another old, but classic train mystery of who done it. Alot of twists and turns through the movie to an unusual out come. Great evening flick.
