Le crime de l'Orient-Express

Kenneth Branagh confère un étonnant mélange d'excentricité, d'autorité et de sensibilité au célèbre limier belge dans son adaptation fidèle et audacieuse du classique d'Agatha Christie.

Sous la direction de Kenneth Branagh, ce remake de Murder on the Orient Express, 43 ans après l'adaptation magistrale de Sydney Lumet, est un film grandiose, qui aborde plus les zones d'ombre de l'âme humaine que l'art du suspense.

Son adaptation du Crime de l'Orient-Express (1934), une de ses énigmes les plus célèbres, se veut très fidèle à l'esprit du roman et de facture classique. Rien pour crier au meurtre.

Murder on the Orient Express is a serviceable enough mystery, but it likely would have been so without the all-star cast and the epic mustache. What we end up with is far less than the sum of its parts.

This remake of a classic mystery features an impressive cast and a lavishly stylized visual experience.

On it own merits, Haris Zambarloukos' cinematography is fine and functional, but the nature of the project rather severely restricts the visual opportunities.

Director/star Kenneth Branagh's all-star take on Agatha Christie's legendary mystery is more like a celebrity whydoit.

Si chaque temps nous apporte un nouvel Hercule, de David Suchet à Peter Ustinov, on pourrait également dire que chaque Hercule personnifie son époque.

Kenneth Branagh's take on Agatha Christie's eccentric detective is one for the ages, though his larger-than-life persona (and mustache) upstages her most famous mystery.

I enjoyed parts of the movie, savoring the actors though aware that half of my own little gray cells were snoozing.

In this Agatha Christie adaptation, the all-star cast (Daisy Ridley! Johnny Depp!) takes a back seat to its director-star.

Ce film sera un simple remake qui ne passe pas à l'histoire, mais c'était le risque à prévoir.

However, that mustache—which even grows limp and messy when matters get dicey for Poirot—deserves a place in the pantheon of great follicle-ly enhanced performances.
