I loved it, this is the best adaption of the story so far, Branagh deserves huge credit, not only for delivering the second best depiction of Poirot to date but also marashalling a wonderfully atmospheric and immersive murder mystery.
The film is beautiful and I loved the way Branagh kept things dynamic and engaging with imaginative ways of filming the various character interactions and investigations, he made the train a character of it's own.
All of the supporting performances are good with Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley, Tom Bateman and Josh Gad the standouts, while the costume, sets and cinematogrpahy are all wonderful and draw you into the time period.
This is an old fashioned murder mystery, a throwback to the type of story usually reserved for TV nowadays, and I hope it gets the sequel the last scene sets up, an adaption of [BLACKOUT]'Death on the Nile'[/BLACKOUT] that already will have one big change.
8.5/10
