I finally watched Murder on the Orient Express coz there was buggery sod all else on.
Now, people claim that Poirot is a really good detective - not as far as I can see!
There's all these people on a train, and one of them gets perished. After some convoluted plodding, it turns out that by some strange coincidence, literally everyone (even the staff) was linked to the victim, and they all had a go at duffing him up.
Piorot, the sleuth that he is, discovers that every single person had a hand in it - literally, all the passengers and crew took it in turn to nobble him. And what does the great detective do?
He lets them all off!
Just coz they felt they needed 'justice', they get away with murder! hah - I'd love to see a Japanese/Korean remake! You'd have the murdered girl with loooong black hair & white dress, creaking about. Then after Mr Evil gets expired, he starts appearing in strobe as the carriage lights flicker on and off, and all the protagonists die & disappear in bizzare fashions.
Pulled into a cabin bed, transported to a lakeside from within a bath and drownded, pulled up into the ceiling.
You know the kind of thing.
And at the end, old Haiku Poirot can get cursed or something!
I'd buy that for a dollar!
