Badly shot but high marks for the story itself

The rhythm is not good, the whole is very dull, and the soundtrack is also problematic. There are several soundtracks that the director may want to emphasize the importance of the plot, but the effect is not good.

The exterior shots are very atmospheric, the sea is very blue and the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the interior of the train is also exquisite and lively.

The actors acted very well, no flaws and no mistakes, but the tension of the story shown by the camera is not enough, it is very weak, it can even be said to be boring, but the core is very good, I feel that the director did not shoot well, and it was only near the end. A small climax was reached, but the replay of Poirot's recollection of the case was not handled well.

Nonetheless, the film's handling of the case is still worth pondering.

You can also use 'what if at the beginning' to apply to all the people involved in the case, but unfortunately there is no such if, after reading it, it is also sad, and it is still very sad. If the law enforcement officers are quick and precise, the murderer will be brought to justice. , Is it possible to repair the victim's mind in time, so as to avoid more harm and more mistakes?

    This level of adaptation, I only see it in China. Grandma wrote a typical psychological detective, but she was changed to a tough-guy detective. Not only the key clues were lost, but even the reasoning process was absurd. If the previous work was too hasty and unnecessary cleverness, this is simply a Stupid! The long shots and the Last Supper are very unnecessary, and they mess up the actors' "moving positions". Director, have you read the book?

    Except for some scenes that are too Hollywood, I really like the presentation of this version. The pace is a bit slow in the first part. The feeling of the lens is very good, the long lens of the train station, the glass window of the dining car. The doctor has a line that the murderer destroyed him, and the subtitles are translated as "killed him", which is too hasty. There are comments that Shenxia is possessed, I think it is not Poirot who is possessed by Shenxia, ​​but the doctor who completed the autopsy in two seconds... Lord Kenny, you are also the one who played two detectives! 10.10 want to see
