Our take on Murder on the Orient Express

Kenneth Branagh directs and stars in this 2017 adaptation, playing the fastidious Belgian detective Hercule Poirot as he investigates the murder of an American tycoon aboard the snowbound Orient Express. Confined largely to a single luxurious train, the film is a classic closed-circle whodunit: a carriage full of suspects, each with something to hide, and a detective whose sense of order collides with a troubling case. Branagh favors handsome period craftsmanship, an ensemble cast, and old-fashioned deductive suspense over graphic thrills. It suits viewers who relish elegant, talky mysteries and the pleasures of watching a brilliant sleuth work, patient audiences rather than those craving relentless action.
