Ghastly, incompetent screenplay by a writer who has previously butchered a number of the recent so-called "Marples"; followed by completely wretched direction by some greenhorn who makes "ham-fisted" seem like a compliment - much of the acting goes completely over the top. And the editing is pretty bad also, but that may be due to the choppy direction they were given to clean up after. Its yet another in a series of productions controlled by people who seem to really loathe Christie; possibly they get assigned to these productions against their will, and take their frustration out on it? Some of the CGI of the train running through snow-covered mountains was passable, but I was constantly distracted towards the end by all the fake snow machine-blown all over the trees and the exterior of the train.
Its yet another in a series of British "period" productions done in recent years by young production crews who have absolutely NO interest in or feel for the material; like they're just shooting another music video or commercial for McDonalds. I doubt that they can tell the difference.
