Murder on the Orient Express is the 2017 film adaptation of the 1934 Agatha Christie novel (which I read years ago and review here).
Murder! Famous detective Hercule Poirot is on the train from Istanbul to London when a passenger gets killed in the Balkans. Trapped by a snowfall, all are stuck in the mountains with the murderer still on the train . . . Poirot uses his standard techniques to work out "whodunnit" . . . and all is not as it seems.
The book was excellent; I enjoyed this movie, too. A star-studded cast performed admirably in this adaptation. The cinematography and music were well done. It wasn't perfect- it didn't feel quite as suspenseful as the book- but it was good.
Rating: A-
