Murder on the Orient Express 2017 by AverageMansReviews
Review Time
Warning:
there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/stabbing/drugs
There
has been a murder on the Orient Express: there is only one man on board that
can solve this mystery; Private Detective Hercule Poirot [Kenneth
Branagh/Director of this film.]
This
is one of those occasions don't have too much to say about a project, yes
absolutely the art in this project is easy to see throughout your journey in
this project be it the landscapes, scenery or the costumes, the birds eye
prospective in some scenes is a excellent touch and so on [just in case if I
have missed something out] and there is little bits and pieces of comedy.
But
however the storyline or the storyline and the pacing [I don't know if it is
an individual or a combined thing] but either way things feel really empty or
slow, I mean things plod along and for a film which is roughly 114 minutes long
it does feel like it does need a change of gear option to it which as I have
already referenced it just doesn't have at its disposal.
Consequently
these character developments/character types and performances feel very bland,
I mean on reflection there were five that stood out in the interest of fairness
and balance; Kenneth Branagh as Private Detective Hercule Poirot , Willem Dafoe
as Gerhard Hardman, Olivia Colman as Hildegarde Schmidt, Tom Bateman as Bouc
and Derek Jacobi as Edward Henry Masterman.
This film receives: 5/10, this film is mixed; this mark is a fair conclusion, but the sequel is better and one final thing this film has awards credited to its name 1 Winner; British Film Designers Guild Awards 2017; BFDG Award; Best Production Design - International Studio Feature Film - Period Jim Clay [Production Designer] Dominic Masters [Supervising Art Director] Rebecca Alleway [Set Decorator.] 25 Nominees, here is just one example. AARP Movies for Grownups Awards 2018; Movies for Grownups Award; Best Director Kenneth Branagh.
