Honestly, this is not my favourite production of the story. Agatha Christie would not have used such comedy in her production. However, it probably appeals to the younger crowd and it is a nice way to introduce a masterpiece and a fantastic author to new generations. I can't see anyone else other than David Suchet as Poirot, he is the embodiment of what I think of when I read the books.
Having said all that, it is well produced and well made, telling the story with a fresh approach. I will give it 3 stars - 2 for Agatha's story and 1 for the production value. However, I can't give it more than 3 if compared to the Poirot - Murder on the Orient Express from 2010. Lastly, this actor's accent is atrocious. He doesn't sound as if French is his first language, but as I do when I try to pretend. :) Sorry Kenneth Branagh, but you don't match Agatha's Poirot.
