An Entertaining, but flawed, Movie
I am generally a sucker for any murder mystery movie or tv show, and this movie is no exception. I had a lot of fun with it, despite some flaws.
Kenneth Branagh makes for a great Poirot. Most of the cast is excellent, often in underwritten roles. The standout performance is from newcomer Emma Mackey, who is tragic as the heartbroken lover turned stalker. The eventual solution was clever, yet plausible.
There were, however, a few flaws with the movie. The main one was the overuse of CGI/ green screen. It was rather obvious we were nowhere near Egypt, and it took away from some of the immersion. Secondly, while I absolutely adore Gal Gadot, I do feel her acting limitations were slightly exposed here.
