Murder on the Orient Express is a beautiful film to look at and
Kenneth Branagh does a great job putting the movie together.
With an All-Star cast that includes Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe,
Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Derek Jacobi, Leslie Odom
Jr., Michelle Pfeiffer, and Daisy Ridley along with Branagh in
the lead role as the Detective, how could this not be a success?
Well, star power is not a movie-make. It comes down to story and
they are riding the talents of Agatha Christie. So, how could
this not be a success? All the ingredients are here and
yet....it missing the one thing that it should have. Engagement.
By that I mean, whenever I watch a Whodunit movie like this, the
joy comes in trying to piece all the clues together and solve
the mystery before the movie ends. That's what ever Whodunit
movie strives for right? My issue here is that Hercule Poirot,
the Detective is pulling out clues left and right, stuff that
isn't even shown on camera but somehow figures into the plot.
Um, if you're not going to show clues, then you're taking me out
of my ability to solve anything. So, as pretty as this movie is
to look at, I'm just a spectator and can't really get into it
since I'm not being given the chance to solve anything. Sure, I
already knew the story and knew what the Twist was, but I still
want to see how the evidences was laid out throughout the movie.
Worth a Rent, nothing more.
