In general, my biggest concern was the direction, ultimately the cinematography. Camera movement were rough and lighting was very inconsistent. You could easily identify scenes largely composed of CGI. Poorly choreographed action sequences. This could have been a classic mystery but fell short in many aspects.

The classic Agatha Christie murder/mystery has seen several adaptations over the year, most notably the 1974 version, but Kenneth Branagh manages to update this in a stylish manner and does so with an outstanding cast. With such a large cast, you feel to want to get to know each character better, but I can't fault casting both well-established (Judi Dench, Willem Dafoe, Michelle Pfeiffer and Penélope Cruz) and fresh face (Daisy Ridley, Leslie Odom Jr. and Josh Gad) talent. The look, the language, the dialogue - all spot on and it will be interesting to see where it goes next.
