The ABC Murders (2018)

Different and obviously not for hardcore Poirot fans

[7/10 · 23 March 2019]

It is a grim approach to one of the most famous Poirot stories. First of all Poirot is nothing like we've used to. Portraited by John Malkovich it brings a completly different style to the famous detective. Poirot is now a depressed retired detective far from his glory days of old. The police doesn't respect him and his manners are far less delicate than all of the other adaptations of the character. Gone are the trademark moustache and the jolly personality of David Suchet or Peter Ustinov. This is John Malkovich and it is his adaptation of the character. Not for everyone as hardcore Christie's fans probably won't like his style.
