Since I was young, I have always liked crime movies. I can't say it's my first choice if we talk about movie genre, but I do find it very interesting. I remember watching CSI and trying to figure out who was the culprit. This movie, I'd like to share today is something I liked watching as much as CSI.
I know I haven't posted anything for a long time, but let's just say this movie has something about it that makes me want to share it with everyone.
→Murder on the Orient Express
You can see the trailer here:
The Murder on the Orient Express, as the title says, is about a murder on a lavish train called The Orient Express. A well known detective called Hercule Poirot is on a race against time to find out who the murderer is. The movie will introduce a set of characters, all with different personalities and stories. You can try to guess who the culprit is, while Hercule, one by one, reveals clues.
I liked how the whole time I had to think and watch carefully, to find clues to solve the case. Hercule definitely is a smart cookie, and as mentioned in the movie, nothing gets past him. I thought Kenneth Pranagh (who played Hercule Poirot) was just superb. His moustache is just as fabulous!
"Everyone is a suspect."
The Murder on the Orient Express is straightforward. Someone killed someone on the train, a brilliant detective needs to find out who the culprit is. But, it is also complex. The case will go different directions and it will make you think twice about who you think is the killer.
Should you watch it? Yes you should! 4.5 stars out of 5!
Can't Take the suspense? Are you the type who loves for SPOILERS? Check below for my thoughts on the movie, and of course it will contain SPOILERS.
LAST WARNING. SPOILERS BELOW
I just had a hunch! Apparently it was true. At one point, since no one person could be pin-pointed, I thought all of them might be involved. But, of course, I thought it was a bit too crazy and tried to find one person, or at least a few people who might have been the culprit/s. Yes, if you haven't watched it yet, everyone, except for the owner of the train and the detective is involved in the crime. I remembered the poster showed "Everyone is a suspect". It was true! It was right there. When I learned of how everyone on the train is connected because of one case, I also thought it was more than a coincidence.
I just felt a little sad in the end. It made me think, is revenge really the answer?
Their lives were all affected/changed due to one murder, will committing another one fix everything else? Hercule decided not to report it, and let everyone go, but is that necessarily correct? Hercule said he hopes everyone finds peace after it, but can they? Won't they feel guilt, even if Cassetti DID something that changed their lives forever? They were all scarred and broken, it made my heart ache, but I'm also wondering if it should end this way, as they did not have to answer to what they have done. I want to watch more of these types of movies. I'll see if I can find some good ones.
The movie was simply incredible. Should you watch it? Yes you should. You already watched it? It was worth the time/money spent right?
4.5 stars out of 5!
'Til next time!
