OUR REVIEW
The Ensemble Cast comprises an enjoyable Mix of Actor´s Actors, British Institutions, and Hollywood Movie Stars. The whole thing works especially well if you don´t remember the Book´s Original Ending though it´s not exactly spoiled if you do. Written by Blade Runner: 2049 scribe Michael Green, it doesn´t try to reinvent Agatha Christie.

Written by Blade Runner: 2049 scribe Michael Green, it doesn´t try to reinvent Agatha Christie.
Therefore, the Position of Agatha Christie as the Best-Selling Author of all Time seems secure, only Shakespeare threatens her Eminence. All of which means that Kenneth Branagh, the Director of the new “Murder on the Orient Express,“ and Michael Green, his Screenwriter, are free to do as they like.... So what has changed this time ?
