Director: Yasuo Furuhata | Stars: Ken Takakura, Shinobu Ôtake, Ryôko Hirosue, Hidetaka Yoshioka
Votes: 1,325
Perpetually stone-faced, master of deadpan delivery, "Japan's Clint Eastwood" Ken Takakura in one of his best roles. Slightly odd story, which has even a moderate surprise element built into it. Without a doubt one of the best Japanese movies of the 1990s.

Votes: 69,158 | Gross: $0.07M
Without any question the best film version of the classic Agatha Christie sleuth-thriller on rails, much thanks to Albert Finney's portrayal of Poirot, which is very different from David Suchet's iconic performance as Hercule Poirot. Follows the book's original plot to the letter, which is a major plus.
