when lauren bacall and ingrid bergman clinked glasses at the end...i both died and was conceived at that moment
eelyMar 14, 2013The 'Whodunnit?' type of storytelling is something I have always liked as it always provides a fun distraction that, when done well, almost always guarantees immediate audience involvement as we are always part of the investigation. Agatha Christie is in the top tier of…

- Platypus Lord likedMurder on the Orient Express
A film with the star power of Finney, Bergman, Connery, Perkins, etc. and an enjoyable dry humor. Drama and intrigue escalates enjoyably as time goes on. The ultimate solution is mind-blowing, flips the murder mystery genre on its head, and produces a fascinating moral dilemma.
Maggi is "meh" onMurder on the Orient ExpressThe plot twist is insane. For an old film, it sure is good. I liked it, but it could sometimes be quite boring and difficult to understand. Even tho I’ll only rate it a 3/6, it is a classic movie that you need to watch at least once during Halloween season.
allen likedMurder on the Orient ExpressWatched 01/24: didn’t care for Agatha Christie’s book/writing but the film adaptation was interesting and way more entertaining. Musical score was good. Interesting plot twist at the end of the movie that didn’t happen in the book.

James Pritchard likedMurder on the Orient Expressinteresting agatha christie, i think the book would have been better with more space to fill out and build up bc the end just felt a little forced and a little too unexpected for my taste
Aza likedMurder on the Orient Expresslowkey ate this movie up. i was seriously engaged in the plot. sometimes a little boring. i had fun trying to keep track of all the characters. also i just like trains.
hannah likedMurder on the Orient Expressamazing story on agatha christie’s end but the film itself is just an absolute bore: cinematography is nonexistent, script is basic and acting is only so-so 7/10
- Maddie DeGraw likedMurder on the Orient Express
It was alright. It covered the story pretty well, I think it struggled trying to help introduce the audience to so many characters.
Bree likedMurder on the Orient ExpressAn Agatha Christie classic. I wish the film had a better rhythm, it seemed to drag at times. But overall a good film
mel a lovedMurder on the Orient Expressvery good, could never figure out who the murderer was, kept me on my toes.

When the plot is this much of a lark, it’s in need of far lighter execution than this.

Murder on the Orient Express is a splendidly entertaining movie of the sort that isn’t made anymore: It’s a classical whodunit, with all the clues planted and all of them visible, and it’s peopled with a large and expensive collection of stars.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Like the lovely, extravagantly overemphasized nineteen-thirties' costumes and production designed by Tony Walton, Murder on the Orient Express is much less a literal re-creation of a type of thirties movie than an elaborate and witty tribute that never for a moment condescends to the subject.
