Murder on the Orient Express is a 2017 mystery film co-produced and directed by Kenneth Branagh from a screenplay by Michael Green, based on the 1934 novel of the same name by Agatha Christie. It is the first instalment of the Hercule Poirot film series. The film stars an ensemble cast with Branagh as Hercule Poirot, alongside Tom Bateman, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, Judi Dench, Johnny Depp, Josh Gad, Derek Jacobi, Leslie Odom Jr, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Daisy Ridley.[7] The plot follows Poirot, a world-renowned Belgian detective, as he investigates a murder on the luxury Orient Express train service in the 1930s.

Principal photography began in November 2016 in the United Kingdom; it is one of the few productions in recent decades to have used 65 mm film cameras. Murder on the Orient Express had its world premiere on November 2, 2017 at the Royal Albert Hall in London, and was released theatrically in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2017, and in the United States on November 10, 2017, by 20th Century Fox.[8] The film grossed over $351 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the cast performances and production values, but criticism for the screenplay and redundancy to previous adaptations. Two sequels, Death on the Nile (2022) and A Haunting in Venice (2023), were released to diminishing commercial reception.

Plot

[edit]

In 1934, famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot solves a theft at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Intending to return to London, he sails first to Turkey encountering both Dr Arbuthnot and Miss Debenham on the boat. Arriving at Constantinople, he bumps into his friend Bouc, who insists on arranging first class accommodation for Poirot aboard the Simplon-route train, the Orient Express. Alongside Bouc in first class compartment, Poirot's fellow passengers include widow Caroline Hubbard; businessman Edward Ratchett, with both his valet Edward Masterman and secretary Hector MacQueen; elderly Russian Princess Natalia Dragomiroff and her maid Hildegarde Schmidt; Hungarian diplomat Count Rudolf Andrenyi and his wife Elena; physician John Arbuthnot; Mary Debenham, a governess; Pilar Estravados, a Spanish missionary; Cuban-American car salesman Biniamino Marquez; and Gerhard Hardman, an Austrian university professor.

Ratchett attempts to hire Poirot to protect him during the journey, having received a series of threatening letters, but Poirot declines, not wanting to do business with a suspicious character. An avalanche derails the train's engine, stranding the passengers until a rescue engine can arrive. During the night, Poirot is awakened by strange noises in the hall next to his cabin and sees someone in a red kimono rushing down the corridor. Ratchett is found murdered the following morning, stabbed a dozen times in a furious attack.

Poirot and Bouc work together to hunt the murderer. Poirot discovers the burned remnants of one of Ratchett's threatening notes, and from it deduces that Ratchett was actually John Cassetti, the man responsible for the kidnap and murder of Daisy Armstrong, an infant child. Daisy's death caused her mother, Sonia, to go into premature labour, killing her and the baby, and her father, Colonel John Armstrong, committed suicide out of grief. The family nursemaid, Susanne, accused of complicity in Daisy's murder, also committed suicide.

Instead of struggling to find clues, to Poirot's irritation, he discovers that there is a surfeit that appear seemingly contradictory. What initially appeared to be a frenzied stabbing by a maniac, is not as there are no defensive wounds and some strikes are strong and deep and others are light and shallow, inconsistent with a fatal struggle. He finds a bloodstained handkerchief with a monogrammed "H", and a conductor uniform button in Mrs Hubbard's cabin, leading him to find the uniform and red kimono planted in his own suitcase. Hubbard is later stabbed from behind and cannot identify the culprit. Poirot's interrogations of the passengers identifies direct connections between them and the Armstrong family. While interviewing Debenham, Poirot is shot in the shoulder by Dr Arbuthnot, who confesses to Ratchett's murder; Bouc incapacitates him before he can kill Poirot. However, Poirot quickly surmises that Arbuthnot, a skilled former army sniper, deliberately missed a killing shot.

Poirot gathers and confronts the passengers outside the train, uncovering their true identities:

  • MacQueen's district attorney father was pressured into prosecuting Susanne, but his career was destroyed when she was posthumously exonerated.
  • Hardman, in actuality a former police officer named Cyrus, was in love with Susanne.
  • Pierre Michel, the train's conductor, is Susanne's brother.
  • Arbuthnot and the terminally ill Masterman were Colonel Armstrong's army comrades.
  • Marquez, Schmidt, and Estravados worked for the Armstrongs.
  • Debenham was Daisy's governess.
  • Countess Andrenyi is Sonia's sister.
  • Princess Dragomiroff was Daisy's godmother.
  • Hubbard is actually Linda Arden, a former stage actress, Sonia's mother, and Daisy's grandmother.

Poirot concludes that they collaborated in murdering Ratchett together, each stabbing him once. Hubbard takes the blame for planning the murder and recruiting the others. Debenham wore the kimono and Arbuthnot superficially stabbed Hubbard to mislead Poirot. Agreeing their cause was just, but compelled to tell the truth, Poirot challenges the passengers to shoot him dead, so they will get away with the murder. Instead, Hubbard grabs the gun and attempts suicide, but realises it is unloaded — Poirot was testing the suspects' characters.

With the locomotive back on the tracks, Poirot surmises that justice is impossible in this case, as Cassetti deserved death. For the first time, Poirot must live with a lie and imbalance. He presents the lone escaped killer theory to the Yugoslavian police, allowing the others to remain on the train. As he disembarks, a British Army messenger delivers a note asking him to investigate a death on the Nile.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

20th Century Fox announced the project in December 2013.[9] Michael Green wrote the screenplay for a new film adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express.[10] On 16 June, 2015, it was reported Fox was in talks with Kenneth Branagh to direct.[11] On 20 November, 2015, it was announced that Branagh would both direct the film and star in the role of detective Hercule Poirot.[12] He later said that he "enjoyed finding the sort of obsessive-compulsive in [Poirot] rather than the dandy."[13]

In June 2016, Angelina Jolie entered into "talks" to join the cast of the film, in the role of Mrs Caroline Hubbard.[14] However, it was later reported that Jolie had passed on the role and that Charlize Theron, among others, was in consideration for the role.[15] In August 2016, Leslie Odom Jr joined the cast.[16] In September 2016, Tom Bateman, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daisy Ridley, Michael Peña, Judi Dench, Lucy Boynton and Derek Jacobi joined the cast.[17][18][19] In October 2016, Josh Gad and Marwan Kenzari joined the cast.[20][21] In November 2016, Penélope Cruz joined the cast.[22] In December 2016, Sergei Polunin joined the cast.[23] In January 2017, Willem Dafoe and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo joined the cast with the latter replacing Peña, who had dropped out of the project.[24][25]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography on the film began on November 22, 2016, in the United Kingdom,[26][27] and concluded in May 2017. It used some of the same 65 mm film cameras as Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, which Branagh had acted in shortly before the production.[28] The two were among the very few to be shot on 65 mm film since Branagh's Hamlet in 1996, and the only ones released in 2017.[2][3] While in post-production, Branagh "was Skyped in from thousands of miles away" to watch Pfeiffer record an original song called "Never Forget" for the film's finale. "As soon as we added it on to the end of the film, it joined seamlessly and gave a moment of reflection and consideration that the film needed and wanted," said Branagh.[29]

Release

[edit]

A first look at the film and cast was released on May 3, 2017, in an exclusive article by Entertainment Weekly.[30]

Murder on the Orient Express was released in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2017, and in the United States on November 10, 2017, by 20th Century Fox.[31] The film was released on digital HD on February 20, 2018, and on Ultra HD Blu-ray, DVD and Blu-ray on February 27, 2018.[citation needed]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

Murder on the Orient Express grossed worldwide a total of US$352.8 million against a production budget of US$55 million.[6]

In North America, Murder on the Orient Express grossed US$102.8 million. It was released alongside Daddy's Home 2, and was projected to gross around $20 million from 3,341 theaters in its opening weekend.[32] The film made $10.9 million on its first day, including $1.6 million from Thursday night previews at 2,775 theaters. It ended up grossing $28.7 million, finishing third at the box office, behind holdover Thor: Ragnarok, and Daddy's Home 2. On the film's opening weekend, 51% of the audience was over the age of 35.[33] In its second weekend, the film took in $13.8 million (a drop of 51.9%), finishing fifth, behind Justice League, Wonder, Thor: Ragnarok and Daddy's Home 2.[34]

Critical response

[edit]

Murder on the Orient Express received mixed reviews from American critics.[35][36][37][38] On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 60% based on 301 reviews, with an average rating of 6.1/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Stylish production and an all-star ensemble keep this Murder on the Orient Express from running off the rails, even if it never quite builds up to its classic predecessor's illustrious head of steam."[39] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 52 out of 100, based on 46 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[40] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[33]

Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B+, calling it "a lushly old-fashioned adaptation wrapped in a veritable turducken of pearls, monocles, and international movie stars."[41] Blake Goble of Consequence of Sound said, "Handsomely staged, exceptionally well-cast, and reasonably faithful, Branagh has revived Murder on the Orient Express in a highly pleasing fashion."[42] Trace Thurman of Bloody Disgusting gave the film three and a half skulls and said, "For those looking for an involving murder mystery that is respectful of its source material and filled with an all-star cast, look no further than Murder on the Orient Express."[43] Matt Goldberg of Collider gave the film a B−, calling it a "handsomely crafted production," albeit one that "falls apart at the climax of the film."[44] Jo Livingstone of The New Republic praised the film's "stylized gorgeousness," but wrote that Branagh's change of "Poirot's fussiness ... into obsessive compulsive tendencies" was "less distinct and, ultimately, less interesting".[45]

On the negative side, Matthew Jacobs of The Huffington Post was impressed by the cast, but ultimately felt "Agatha Christie's whodunit has no steam."[46] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone found that there were many dull moments and that the film was a needless remake.[47] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two and a half stars, and stated that he felt it focused too much on Poirot to the detriment of the other characters, adding, "Never let it be said the director misses an opportunity to place his star front and center, unfortunately relegating just about everyone else in the obligatory international all-star cast to a paper-thin character with one or at most two defining personality traits."[48] Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of The A.V. Club rated the film a C+ and complained that Branagh's "erratic direction—more interested in cut glass and overhead shots than in suspicions and uncertainties—bungles both the perfect puzzle logic of the crime and its devious solution."[49] Christopher Orr of The Atlantic said the film was "visually sumptuous yet otherwise inert" and summed up, "Murder on the Orient Express is not a bad movie per se, merely one that feels self-indulgent and thoroughly unnecessary."[50]

In 2015, Christie's great-grandson James Prichard, chairman of Agatha Christie Limited, expressed enthusiasm for sequels, citing the positive collaboration with Branagh and the production team.[12] In May 2017, Branagh expressed interest in further installments if the film were successful.[63] On 20 November, 2017, 20th Century Fox announced that a sequel, Death on the Nile, based on the Christie's 1937 novel, was in active development, with Michael Green, screenwriter of the first film, returning to write the script.

Death on the Nile underwent several delays, due in part to Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other than Branagh, only Bateman returned from the first film to play Bouc again. The rest of the main cast were: Annette Benning, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders, and Letitia Wright The cinematic release was on 11 February, 2022.[64]

Brannagh returned to direct and star as Poirot, with Michael Green returning as screenwriter. The film starred a new cast of Kyle Allen, Camille Cottin, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Jude Hill, and Michelle Yeoh, amongst others.
