This movie represents a fascinating look at the Agatha Christie classic. The cast of character is also very interesting. Kenneth Branagh plays our detective hero, Hercule Poirot. Bouc, his traveling companion is played by Tom Bateman. And then the other passengers on the train, who all become the subject of an investigation as Poirot is called upon to solve a murder where a passenger is stabbed a dozen times and killed. Other actors include: Penelope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Derek Jacobi, Leslie Odom Jr., Michelle Pfeiffer and Daisy Ridley. Kenneth Branagh also directed. Each of these characters comes together with the other is a most peculiar way, which is what makes for the twist at the end of the movie. I can't say I enjoyed this version better than the original from the 1970s. However it does see true to the story, and the mystery.
