The ABC Murders

4/10 is generous. To begin with, I found John Malkovich had no screen presence, no personality and generally boring. That was before we get to the story which has been changed so much- what was wrong with the original book? Short of plot? Characters? I don't think so. But apparently the screen writers think it would be better to do without Hastings, kill off Japp and add extra, presumed background stories. I gave it a 4 simply because it was nice to see Rupert Grint taking on a mature role and being good enough at it for me to watch him and not immediately think Ron Weasley. I won't be watching the other 2 episodes. I can, however, recommend the audio book read by Hugh Fraser if you don't fancy reading the book.
