Dark, Revisionist, Unworthy, and Unnecessary
What was the point of this dark revisionist production? Departures from the novel, references to political climate, focus on all that is joyless, isolating Poirot... This is not entertainment for a Christie fan or others who want to experience more and better than the vanity of this problematic production -- that some may conclude wasted talent, time, expenditures, and opportunity. In my opinion this production is Exhibit A for the case that there is no point to further "adapt" and produce Christie-based films that obliterate her work. What a shame.
