Neither
Agatha Christie nor Hercules Poirot are on my list of favourites but Kenneth
Branagh is, so here I sit.
Ghosts,
a séance, a murder are the subjects of M Poirot’s (Branagh) sharp eye, piercing
questions, keen intellect and a refusal to believe in the supernatural.
Why Branagh makes these movies, I don’t know. His immense talents should be used on Shakespeare. Still, this one is as visually stunning as all of his films are and he endows even these dull characters with some depth.
