Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Me refiero a que, una película de intriga, tiene que tener intriga, suspense, emoción, aventuras, esta película no tiene nada de eso. El detective, es el detective menos inteligente del mundo. No tiene ni una frase que te diga que está avanzando. De hecho yo pensaba que le habían puesto a él porque no parece muy listo, como dice la nieta en un momento en la película. Es el primer detective de la historia que no tiene que correr aventuras en ningún momento de la película. Esos momentos en los que investiga y casi le ven.Los actores están bien, salvo el detective. No me gusta ese detective, no es un detective. La iluminación esta estupenda. Si es una película de gran presupuesto y eso se nota. Ayuda contar la película, a meterte, pero hay otras cosas que te sacan.El director, no me gusta, no ha sabido hacer una película policiaca. No ha sabido usar la cámara. No sabe contar con la cámara. Los planos son básicos o incluso feos. La película no aburre, pero no dice nada.Es como ver una película que cuando termina no sabes que te está contando, porque no te ha llegado. I mean, a movie of intrigue, it has to have intrigue, suspense, excitement, adventures, this movie does not have any of that. The detective is the least intelligent detective in the world. It does not have a phrase that tells you it is moving forward. In fact, I thought that they had put him because he does not seem very smart, as the granddaughter says at one point in the movie. He is the first detective in history who does not have to run adventures at any time in the movie. Those moments in which he investigates and almost see him.The actors are fine, except for the detective. I do not like that detective, he's not a detective. The lighting is great. If it's a big budget movie and that shows. It helps to tell the movie, to get involved, but there are other things that take you out.The director, I do not like it, he has not known how to make a police movie. He has not known how to use the camera. He does not know how to count on the camera. The plans are basic or even ugly. The movie does not bore, but it does not say anything.It's like watching a movie that when it ends you do not know what is telling you, because it has not arrived

It took me a while to realize who the woman was who was cutting up the scenery with her curt remarks and selfish behavior. Gillian I loved you in this, it took me aback because it was so not your previous acting parts. Very clever who done it. Watching over again right now.. Love, Kevin. It.

Great cast, excelllent plot, and an unexpected ending. Add in a very good script and perfect scenery. From my experience it's one of Agatha Christie's best. My only two concerns were that the volume of the sound rose to ear piercing levels when any music came on, and there were so many characters that I sometimes got confused as to who was married to who and the relationships between them.

On the story -- I never read this Agatha Christie novel, but I am sure this type of story with many characters contributing to the main plot (murder) of the movie is best told in the book .. and also, it's just most book-to-film adaptations are not that good. On acting -- Max Irons acting didn't do good for this movie. Being the lead and expected to drive almost all the scenes given his character, it just didn't work. However, Glenn Close was great, as usual. I still recommend this movie mostly for its story (don't turn away if the acting start to bore you).. Intriguing story -- but you also get that by reading the book. (So I think I get why those who have read it was not happy about this movie). But if you want to skip the book, I think you won't feel your time wasted watching this movie.
