Based on Agatha Christies own favourite book from the many novels she has written this is a charming murder mystery which could potentially keep you guessing who has done it till near the end. Sprinkled some famous faces (Max Irons, Stefanie Martini, Glenn Close, Gillian Anderson, Christina Hendricks, and Terence Stamp); acted well; and themed in a way to make things look and feel authentic.
Following a young sleuth as he tries to figure out who killed a millionaire Greek patriarch, whose immediate family all seem to have motives and means to be able to commit the murderous act. As the sleuth meets all members of the family it becomes more and more difficult to find the responsible party and bring them to justice. Is it the obvious nasty characters, or is the more charming and friendly characters - enjoy the ride while the audience and the sleuth uncover the truth at the same time.
I quite enjoyed this film and recommend it as a safe film for a lazy Sunday, or to enjoy with the family. It's simple and charming while being modern in its approach. In a world full of CGI superheroes and multimillion dollar blockbusters, a simple murder mystery can still seem enchanting. 7 out of 10.
