Plot: Detective Hercule Perot (Kenneth Branagh) is on a train across Europe in the 1940's when there is a murder. Someone on the train must have done it, and Hercule interviews everyone. It turns out people are not quite who they seemed. Of course Perot solves it in the end.

Review: The characters are colorful, and the visual are cool. The plot was a little too twisted for me. I think it would have helped to read the book.
Kenneth Branagh's Perot is not that likable, but he his acting is excellent. It is fun to see so many other big actors playing small parts.
Cast: Kenneth Branagh, Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer
Directed by: Kenneth Branagh
Written by: Michael Green based on the novel by Agatha Christie
The Visuals: Nothing special, except for Hercule Perot's mustache which is occasionally cool and always distracting
Rating: 2.0 stars: I was satisfied by my experience because of the weird characters, but overall it was just OK.
