I have no idea why I keep watching these newer Agatha Christie Poirot films. What makes Kennth Branagh think he can play this part is beyond me.
What I really resent is all the backgrounds the Christie characters are given. Poirot had an old girlfriend and some secret sorrow; in another film he grows that ridiculous mustache to hide scars from the war. Miss Marple has an old beau in her past too.
Well, Kenneth Branagh is no David Suchet.
Poirot, in retirement, is dragged by his friend Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey) to a supposedly haunted palazzo to see if he can figure out whether or not a medium is fake.
Good atmosphere and great palazzo along with the lovely Kelly Reilly and Camille Cottin.
The film moves slowly as people are murdered.
My final quibble. Ariadne Oliver was always a good friend of Poirot's. What is done to you that character and their relationship is an abomination.
