What starts out as a lavish train ride through Europe quickly unfolds into one of the most stylish, suspenseful and thrilling mysteries ever told. From the novel by best-selling author Agatha Christie, 'Murder on the Orient Express' tells the tale of thirteen strangers stranded on a train, where everyone's a suspect. One man must race against time to solve the puzzle before the murderer strikes again. Kenneth Branagh directs and leads an all-star cast including Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley and Josh Gad.

...a respectful romp through one of literature's most famous mysteries...

Still, Branagh clearly has fun with the eccentric nature of the Poirot character, whose gift of insight is a blessing when it comes to solving crimes but a curse in its effects on his daily existence.

To return to why Murder on the Orient Express was remade: Beats me. Maybe it's someone's idea of counterprogramming when every other film in the multiplex is for kids or yahoos. Maybe it's a tax shelter.

Contriving somehow both to dawdle and to rush, "Murder on the Orient Express" is handsome, undemanding, and almost wholly bereft of purpose.

Whodunit? Who took the life of a famous murder mystery and left it dead on the screen? I accuse...director and star Kenneth Branagh.

Even if you're familiar with the story (particularly the memorably lavish 1974 movie), you'll get caught up with what is one of the best murder mystery plots of all time.

There's no reason to see this tiresome, forlorn, forgettable whodunit, which derails almost from the get-go, long before the snow-bound, stranded strangers begin to suspect one another of murder.

Merely forgettable in long stretches between short patches of delight.

Like Poirot, Branagh - the director - is immensely attentive to fact and detail, including drawing a robust performance out of Branagh - the actor - playing the quirky detective with a mix of cheeky humor, vim and vigor.

Kenneth Branagh shoots himself in the foot by cutting short the darkness that loomed in Christie's original vision.

The picture simply goes on too long, and is far too in love with Branagh's performance.

There is too little levity and cleverness afoot, especially with a cast whose talent is barely tapped.
