Upfront, I wasn't overly impressed with the new Murder on the the Orient Express, preferring the Albert Finney version from the seventies. And the Mark Kermode review suggested that Death on the Nile was plodding, predictable and didn't bring anything new or original to the story.
So I had low expectations when the film popped up on my Disney plus service. I was really pleasantly surprised. The film is well paced, has a stunning cast and is a well told crime thriller. Very enjoyable. And Branagh really delivers as Hercule. Good film.
