VHS Movie Reviews of Murder on the Orient Express [VHS]
Movie Review: Truly riveting !
Summary: 5 Stars
Bringing a classic murder mystery to the screen can often result in huge disappointment, but this is a GEM! Great performances by all, and an especially sly and hammy performance by the incomparable Albert Finney. I was on the edge of my seat throughout.....Movie Review: Not very thrilling
Summary: 3 Stars
It has a list of stars that's almost as long as the movie: Lauren Bacall, Albert Finney (who's utterly brilliant as Poirot), Ingrid Bergman, Sean Connery, Anthony Perkins, Jacqueline Bisset, and Vanessa Redgrave. It's directed by the fantastic Sidney Lumet.
Yet for all the star power in cast and crew, I never found "Murder in the Orient Express" to be very thrilling, and I find that to be a problem in an Agatha Christie adaptation. The end is cool, and smart, but I ended watching the movie without caring very much about the murderers - and even less about the victim.
Movie Review: The best mystery movie ever~!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the classic of all classics! The best mystery movie ever made with the best cast ever! Albert Finney is the best Hercule Poirot, as even Agatha Christie herself said. Movie Review: Murder on the Orient Express
Summary: 5 Stars
This classic film, based on Agatha Christie's likewise classic novel, has stood the test of the years. It's transition from literature to the big screen is superbly done. The sets and costumes are wonderful, as well as the performances of the all-star cast. These top-notched actors keep the mystery afloat, while Albert Finney (Poirot) ponders the clues in a tour de force performance. There's also an in-depth, behind the scene look at the making of the movie in the Special Features.
There's so much to like about this movie, especially if you love Agatha Christie, mysteries, or period pieces. I personally feel that of all the passengers, Lauren Bacall's performance was superior and worthy of at least an Academy Award nomination (I won't elaborate on my feelings about Ingrid Bergman's nomination AND win(?)). Becall gives an entertaining portrayal of an overtalkative widow who, like the other passengers, has something to hide.
I highly recommend this film. Five stars and beyond.
Movie Review: Joy to watch
Summary: 4 Stars
Neither I nor my husband had read the book so it was really a complete "mystery" to us. Although, we've heard about it for many years, we weren't aware of the plot. It was a fun surprise. Now we look forward to seeing it again.
