Agatha Christie: Ordeal by Innocence (2014) User Reviews

Great Adaptation

[taylor-gold-13 · 9/10 · 5 January 2022]

A great single-location (mainly) mystery inside a mansion. A classic who-dunnit from the Queen of Murder of Mysteries. Great performances. The filmmakers did the book justice!

Why do the kids think they can improve the Queen of Fiction..

Agatha would be ashamed of this bastardization of her work, a perversion of a plot, characters, and dialogue that uses her good name to give us a cheap facsimile of this Agatha classic. Like so many other pretenders, these newbies sex up and spice up the characters, foul the dialogue with ideas and language Agatha never used, and add unnecessary twists to her perfect plotlines. They can't write their own substantive works and screenplays, so they steal Agatha's good name and classic and apply them like a label to this trash. Do yourself a favor: skip this cheap and debaded adaptation to read the book. You'll be much more satisfied with the read and with not having sullied the greatest fiction writer of all time. Time to take the trash out.
