Murder On The Orient Express (2017) 9/10

After a passenger is murdered on the Orient Express, famous detective Hercule Poirot must investigate the other eleven passengers to find out who the killer is. Based on the novel by Agatha Christie.

The plot is straightforward, it literally says what happens in the title, which, isn't the worst thing. Take 'Snakes On A Plane' for example. The same idea, and it's a good movie too.

The cast is very diverse, with different names, such as Daisy Ridley, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Leslie Odom Jr., Kenneth Branagh, Kevin Bateman, Josh Gad, Willem Dafoe, and Penelope Cruz. I feel like they did a great job with he casting. It's like Ocean's Eleven; none of them look like they would hang out with each other.

The scenery is beautiful; the mountains and the countryside are gorgeous, sharply contrasting what will happen to one of the characters later on.

There's anticipation as the audience is left to wonder who could have murdered the victim. There's frustration at not knowing who it is. There's fear, and even doubt, as some of the characters look like they wouldn't be capable of murder.

Although, the pace is slow, and there's a lot of dialogue, but most of the anticipation comes from the mystery of who the killer might be.

Because the characters are so different from one another, it's shocking when the revelation comes to light. One of them is devoted to God, for example, and she's just as much a suspect because she sleeps near the area that the crime occured.

I'll be honest, I've seen this movie two times now, and I'd watch it a third time. It's not so action packed, if that's your cup of tea, but there's tension, there's drama, and it's a Who-Dunnit, type premise. Stellar cast, too.

Totally worth seeing, and worth your time.

Was watching Murder On The Orient Express (2017) on my phone out of boredom.

Then I saw this guy and I was like...

“What the hell is Aaron Burr doing here and how did he become a doctor?”

One time I went on a date to see one of the Hercule Poirot movies and he didn't like it and said Agatha Christie was a "bad mystery writer and too predictable" so I ghosted him and now the only predictable mystery he is solving is why I don't respond to his texts

Richard Rodney Bennet was an English composer for film, TV and concerts, and he also performed as a jazz pianist. He received his musical education in England but by 1979, he felt frustrated with life in Britain and he moved to New York. Both Steven Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein wrote in support his application for a US green card.

Bennett produced over 200 works for the concerts, and 50 scores for film and television, including Far from the Madding Crowd (1967); Equus (1977); Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994). And of course by personal favorite, the wonderful score for Murder on the Orient Express (1974) where he was nominated for an Oscar and won a BAFTA.

In 1995, Gay Times nominated him as one of the most influential gay people in music. Three years later Bennett was knighted by Queen Elizabeth.

When asked what was the first thing he did each morning, Bennett replied:

I cuddle my cats, because they always sleep with me.
