Kenneth Branagh has just released A Haunting in Venice, his third big-screen adaptation of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.
Not particularly. There are 30 more books to be mined, which means we’ll likely continue to see the character as long as the production costs remain low and the box office receipts are lucrative. So, dig in because the following list, ranking the trilogy of films from worst to best, will likely expand quite a bit in the coming years. As a fan of Poirot, I’m all for it.
That said, Branagh delights as the detective, delivering a solid performance that keeps the pic from stalling completely. Plus, Gal Gadot is a sight to behold. Her acting chops may leave something to be desired, but Branagh frames his star like John Huston shot Katharine Hepburn. The story is strong enough to hold your attention, but it might’ve benefited from a trim or two, which is why it’s at the bottom of our list of Kenneth Branagh Hercule Poirot movies.
While it may feel somewhat familiar, and the final revelation might carry a hint of slyness and frugality, Murder on the Orient Express remains engaging and efficient entertainment, clocking in at a modest two hours. Come for the cast, stay for the murder, grab a tub of popcorn, and let the good times roll.I really enjoyed A Haunting in Venice, which walks the fine line between creepy mystery and Scooby-Doo-like farce while keeping a straight face.
