Summaries
When
a murder occurs on the train on which he's travelling, celebrated detective
Hercule Poirot is recruited to solve the case.
Hercule
Poirot, the best detective in the world, decides to travel on the Orient
Express. The train accidentally gets stopped because of a small avalanche.
Little did he know that a murder was planned and that a person on this train
was capable of committing such crime.
—DoomRanger
Having
just solved a mysterious theft in Jerusalem, the famed Belgian moustachioed
detective, Hercule Poirot, is in need of balancing things in his life with a
small vacation, in 1934 Istanbul. Instead, the vigilant detective will soon
find himself aboard the luxurious Orient Express on a trip to Calais, sharing a
carriage with an eclectic assortment of first-class travellers and an invisible
murderer who walks unnoticed among them. When a sudden massive avalanche blocks
the tracks--trapping the passengers in the locomotive--the gruesome murder of a
commuter in his cabin will force Poirot to solve a conundrum where everyone is
a suspect. Who is the killer?

Famed
Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is travelling on the Orient Express when a
murder is committed. The victim was a particularly obnoxious man with a
criminal past. As clues are revealed, it is apparent that many of the other
passengers on the train had a motive to kill him, making Poirot's task of
identifying the murderer much more difficult.

In
1934, famous Belgian detective Hercule Poirot solves a theft at the Church of
the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The obsessive-compulsive sleuth, who seeks
balance in life, and considers his case-solving ability to see a lie amidst
truth to be a curse, wants to rest in Istanbul, but must return to London for
another case. His friend Bouc, nephew of the director of the Simplon-route
Orient Express service, arranges a bunk for him aboard the train. Unscrupulous
businessman Edward Ratchett offers to hire Poirot as his bodyguard during the
three-day journey, having received threatening letters from an unknown party,
but Poirot refuses. That night, Poirot hears strange noises coming from
Ratchett's compartment, and later sees someone in a red kimono running down the
hallway. An avalanche derails the train's engine, stranding the passengers.

User Reviews
As
director and leading actor, Branagh has turned this movie into one of the most
excessive, narcissistic films ever made. With so many great actors and
actresses, one is left wondering why they would waste their time to be in this
production. The director gives none of them a chance to shine. Branagh's
mustache is the star of the show and, unfortunately, the only part of the movie
I'm likely to remember. With so much star power, I made the mistake of not
reading reviews first. If I had, I probably would have avoided this terrible
ego trip. Most viewers would do well to skip this one.
