Murder on the Orient Express

What viewers say

Viewers enjoy this lavish retelling of the Agatha Christie classic for its all-star cast, sumptuous train setting and costumes, and a shifting suspect list with clues that pay off at the end. Many find it old-fashioned, comforting and even moving. The main criticisms are that style outweighs substance, with stock characters, thin suspect development and a final reveal that lands softer as a result. Some find it slow or artificial-looking, and many feel it is a polished but unnecessary remake that falls short of the 1974 version.

Best for: Viewers who want a glossy, star-studded Golden Age whodunit and care more about atmosphere than surprises.
