Death on the Nile overall its not bad of a movie, but has quite a bit of flaws. (Spoilers ahead!) There is an opening scene of Hercule Poirot fighting for a war showing off his wits, but I feel that doesn't have any real significance to the plot. Then there is also the many instances where they just keep telling you information to further the plot, like that one scene where everyone is revealed to the newly weds of linnet and simon, then Bouc just lists out things about the other people at their party like this person has a grudge against linnet etc. It is difficult to show it, but I feel there is a bit of and overuse of the listing of information. But again, overall, its an entertaining movie that lets you keep guessing.
