Gal Gadot gorgeous
A collaboration between Agatha Christie and modern Hollywood, with its gender and racial equality.
For those who have not read the book, they will probably like it, although there are doubts… As a fan of Agatha Christie, I am very upset that one of my favorite books was so poorly filmed.
Even from the scene of the shot in the leg, for some reason I immediately realized that the shot was empty. Somehow, the blood and the wound itself did not look very plausible. And in this regard, from the very murder she suspected her husband and girlfriend. But of course not all the details, but just that they are guilty. Plus, I thought that someone else from the passengers was involved.
At the moment of Buk's death, it was extremely sad. The only one in the movie that I didn't suspect for a second. He was very optimistic and made plans for the future. I'm really, really sorry.
The cast is good, also a plus. Gal Gadot has perfectly fitted into her role. And so are the others.
The only thing I didn't understand was the logic at the moment when my friend sailed to the ship. Initially, I thought they rented the whole ship for their trip, but then it turned out that there were cruise tickets. Then the question is why there were no other vacationers and why they were not initially warned that there would be another person. Although it's possible that my husband just set it up and there were no tickets
it was clear who would die and who would kill.
of course, I can't say that I guessed all the details and about the deaths of Louise and Beech, but the death of the bride and the involvement of the friend and husband were obvious even before the murder itself occurred. maybe the story itself is primitive, but somehow I didn't really get it.
And of course racial changes and changes in sexuality.
And of course, not to mention the fact that for some reason the character of the Indian actor has an Armenian surname - Andrew Khachadourian, although he is the cousin of an Englishwoman, i.e. it would be more logical to have some kind of English surname.
There are so many beautiful, talented people and such a predictable plot and a bad graphon.
It can't be compared to a book at all (
P.S. Except that the passive insertion about Poirot's personal life, in my opinion, is completely superfluous and inappropriate.
