Hangul D

At least have your lead Belgian detective possess a decent French accent. I am sure catering to an American audience who can not stand to bear listening to someone speak with an accent benefits the box office sales but it is highy disingenuous to anyone who has heard of Hercule Poirot. If you like Agatha Christie mysteries, don’t watch this film. If you enjoy the distracting “creative” liberties of Hollywood plot lines that include unnecessary varied love interests, including homosexual love, interracial love and racial tensions, and of couse the lead detective must have one too, then watch this shallow mischaracterization that cannot even have dead people who have been shot fall down realistically but must be entwined together. I give it one star for the cast. The director should have gotten a different lead actor for Poirot. He also should have developed the characters instead of acheiving the pg-13 rating through erroneous era appropriate sexuality in dancing scenes and unbelievable action sequences. It obviously lacks intellectual and plot depth but caters to a superficial audience that probably has never read an English novel by Agatha Christie.
