Murder on the Orient Express (東方快車謀殺案) is an 2017 film. The movie is directed and starred by Kenneth Branagh as Agatha Christie's most famous detective, Hercule Poirot. The supporting cast include Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Derek Jacobi, Leslie Odom Jr., Michelle Pfeiffer, and Daisy Ridley.
The story begins with Hercule's solving a crime. He gets on a train to retire back in Europe only to be entangled with a murder on the Orient Express. At this point, everyone is a suspect and the adventure begins with finding out who it is. A game of Clue on the big screen starts. Will Hercule's be able to solve the crime before they end their ride?
This movie was well made with a very experience cast. All the folks involved with this film would be considered for every drama oriented movies before and after this one. Which makes the movie very slick and polished. BUT the story was very hard to follow and I don't really know Hercule's much. The film makers assume you're at least familiar with his legendary status. Because no matter how much they sit him up as the detective of extraordinary talent, it doesn't really fly. For me, I was entertained while I watched, but wouldn't watch again or recommend to my friends.
