So I just saw Murder on the Orient Express and it was alright, but it was refreshing to see a mystery film.
It's a simple plot really, a detective is trying to solve a murder on a train. The question is, is it done well?
The movie starts out a bit week and some of the actors are overacting. Granted the main character was portrayed extremely well, given that I haven't read the book.
The music was there when it needed to be, and there was silence when there needed to be, and I applaud the movie for this. Another thing that I found enjoyable on the technical level was the coloring of the film, which was crafted perfectly.
There are some plot holes in this movie though, which that can get a little annoying, but the mystery is intriguing. I can honestly say that I did not see the ending coming. It was a very well done twist and it was a nice surprise.
The movie like I said before starts a bit weak, but as it progresses it does become stronger, which is very good.
Yet overall this is just a film that I would watch on tv if it was on, and I probably wouldn't buy it, but in the end it is worth seeing at least once.
final score: 3/5
