Where I had trouble with his first time out as the mustachioed detective, I found myself pleasantly surprised with what he brought to the table for this new take on Death on the Nile.Ī couple more years and a couple of films later, Branagh displays a cooler and more comfortable presence as Poirot. Branagh’s Orient Express was a warning shot to that effect that he’s going to take Christie’s creations and fiddle and play around and give his own spin. I knew going into this new take not to expect the same. In particular, I love the 1978 Death on the Nile with the ever-excellent Peter Ustinov as Poirot.

The next morning, Linnet is found in her bed murdered and everyone aboard had means, method, and motive. After a hysterical outburst, Jacqueline shoots Simon in the leg. While they’re enjoying their nuptials with their accompanying wedding party - their romantic light is dimmed by Simon’s spurned former lover Jacqueline (Emma Mackie).

That's in the rearview mirror now, of course, and we've already come a long way.
