The idea is that everything will be more interesting if Sean Connery or Ingrid Bergman, rather than the characters they play, is suspected of having committed the foul deed. The device does not work, despite the [actors'] occasionally droll efforts. Nov 8, 2017 | Full Review…

Agatha Christie's 1934 Hercule Poirot novel has been filmed for the first time in a bygone film style as it seems to be some treasure out of a time capsule. Mar 26, 2009 | Full Review…

The formula can't fail: a first class journey on the '30s Orient Express, meticulous detail, a murder with all suspects aboard. In fact, the most suspect thing is the comfortable complacency of it all. Jun 24, 2006 | Full Review…

[A] terrifically entertaining super-valentine to a kind of whodunit that may well be one of the last fixed points in our inflationary universe. May 9, 2005

Lumet overcomes his difficulties in great style, and we're never for a moment confused (except when we're supposed to be, which is most of the time). Oct 23, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

[Lumet] uses the material only as a pretext for star turns, most of which turn much too heavily and much too slowly. Jan 1, 2000 | Full Review…

Its aspirations are admirable; unfortunately, the final film is a heavy-handed misadventure that fizzles flat like day-old champagne. Dec 9, 2019 | Full Review…

Lumet has assembled the most glamorous cast since Grand Hotel, and acting like a traffic manager in Heaven, allowed each of his stars a few moments upon the stage. Oct 4, 2019 | Full Review…

Regardless of the dust that covers its brilliance, this is a mystery film absolutely worth re-jumping on board for. Oct 10, 2018 | Full Review…

This is easily the best screen adaptation of an Agatha Christie whodunnit and, for those unfamiliar with either book or film, the solution will take your breath away. Nov 8, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As with all Agatha Christie stories, the solution to the mystery is rather ingenious. You may or may not see that solution ahead of time, but it hardly matters. The real joy in her work are the questions rather than the answer. Nov 8, 2017 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…
