User Reviews

Agatha Christie made boring!

How can they make Agatha Christie boring and drab and monochromatic??

Wow.

They should have spent more time with shots of Palestine and Turkey to make this film more interesting. It is so boring and dull.

May I suggest throwing in the towel perpetual remakers?
