Stylish production and an all-star ensemble keep this Murder on the Orient Express from running off the rails, even if it never quite builds up to its classic predecessor's illustrious head of steam.

Chicago Reader

The actors here try too hard to flesh out roles that are little more than stock types.

Film Comment Magazine

[Kenneth Branagh] doesn't bring much new to the basic conception-a bunch of famous actors play eccentrics cooped up on a train, with secrets to be unearthed. But he does embellish the template with glossy extras.

April Wolfe

Village Voice

There's something quaint and comforting about this film and its brand of old-fashioned storytelling, where coincidences are extremely likely, everyone somehow knows a countess, and a man puts honor above all else.

Without Poirot spoon-feeding the audience, no viewer would deduce the backstory motivation: a fictionalization of the kidnapping and murder of twenty-month-old Charles Lindbergh Jr.

In the final count, Murder on the Orient Express is lavish spectacle — not meaningless, so much as shallow.

Cinefilia

As a remake it has tiny moments with Branagh's colorful role as the new Poirot, but I'm afraid it lacks a consistent detective intrigue throughout the investigation and grows rather dull with every trace left inside the train. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

Eszter S Michelle Pfeiffer did an amazing job with her character, such a delight!While there were some parts I found too cheesy, I enjoyed this movie a lot. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Cole G Poirot will be Branagh's legacy Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Joern B Wonderful remake of the original Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Jorge C Los críticos me cegaron completamente al negarme la oportunidad de ver esta película, y también el hecho de que no incluyeran a Olivia Colman en la publicidad, sino, desde que se estrenó ya la hubiera visto. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Stacey L A delightful change of pace from the traditional Hollywood offering. An all star cast that does not disappoint, along with a compelling retelling of a classic story. It will be a movie I will be sure to revisit for the set and visuals alone. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review User 2 That was thoroughly interesting, i watched it with a friend who already seen it and i could not guess who was the murderer.. but that ending tho was like whattt. Just a TAD Boring or slow on some scenes but it was needed information. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
