“Murder on the Orient Express” by Kenneth Branagh. The new version of the famous detective Agatha Christie with the stars of the first magnitude

I have to say I didn't like it very much. It didn't compare at all to the 1974 version by Sydney Lumet. Branagh isn't the Poirot of the books, and the plot was changed too much.

Comparisons with the 1974 Sidney Lumet film are inevitable and, of course, they will not be in favor of the new film adaptation, but this does not mean that the 21st century "Murder on the Orient Express" does not have its charms. Dipping into detectives Christie is like going into a cozy professorial study with a lamp under a green shade. This very comfort is successfully conveyed in the luxurious interiors of the train, in the very combination of confined space and immobility - it is clear that as soon as the paths are cleared and the express is ready for shipment, the secret of ticking nerves will be unraveled.
