Agatha shuddered!, 26 July 2009
1/10
Author: retdengr98 from Massachusetts

Indescribably preposterous! Slightly better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick...SLIGHTLY! Absolute rubbish!!

Nothing more need be said about this grotesquely mutilated (Miss Marple does not appear in Dame Agatha's original, sniff, sniff.) perversion of Agatha Christie's moderately readable, but by no means vintage, whodunit. It has been "revised" beyond recognition by the screen writer (whose name I do not know, nor do I wish to know it) and were it not for the fact that this website requires that the utterly dismissible (In the instant case, the subject ghastly flop) be discussed at length (ten line minimum comment...can you imagine? What can these people be thinking of?) I should not have wasted any more of the readers time than it would have taken to read the opening volley! My apologies but, it seems the entertainment industry's appetite for discourse upon itself has no limits. Alas!
