Based on the
classic Agatha Christie novel of the same name, and following along the tracks
of numerous televised adaptations, Murder
on the Orient Express (2017) sees Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, arrive
in the form of an impressive-moustache-wielding Kenneth Brannagh, who also
directs. After boarding the legendary train for a break from his work, Poirot
meets a colourful assortment of characters (equally-colourful is the
train-hoggingly-enormous cast that plays them). But when an avalanche stops the
train its tracks, the passengers wake to find that one among them has been murdered in
their cabin. With “probably the greatest detective in the world” on board, so
begins an investigation.
Curious about something in particular..?

Lawrence plays the loving wife to Javier Bardem’s older poet who’s suffering
from writer’s block. While Lawrence works hard at turning their very remote
home into an idyllic setting, or a “paradise” if you will, a mysterious
stranger (Ed Harris) turns up at their door, followed closely by his wife
(Michelle Pfeiffer), both of whom Bardem’s seemingly-oblivious character
welcomes with open arms - despite his wife’s understandable protests. But as more guests inexplicably begin to swarm Lawrence’s home, the film descends into brutal and unforgiving
chaos that is as arresting as it is repellent.
