action

Hercule Poirot was on the Orient Express when it got stuck in the snow. A little later the body of a traveler is found. He was killed with innumerable, different knife stabs. Since the train is in the middle of nowhere, the killer must still be on board. In the course of the plot, Poirot also reveals the real identity of the murdered man.

Reviews

Brittv thinks that this film is more reduced, darker and more realistic than the film of the same name with Albert Finney . It's great that the detective's strong inner turmoil would also be shown in the case.

Tim Oglethorpe of Daily Mail describes the film as suspenseful, dark and surprisingly bloody.
