Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMany of the characters are combinations or alterations of characters from the novel, to make for a smaller cast and a less confusing plot:
- Salome and Rosalie Otterbourne, a romance novelist and her daughter, become a singer and her niece/manager.
- Andrew Pennington becomes cousin Andrew Katchadourian.
- Marie Van Schuyler, a socialite and no relation to Linnet, becomes Linnet's godmother who has the ideals of Mr. Ferguson, the aristocrat turned socialist.
- Windlesham, a character mentioned in the first chapter, is combined with Dr. Bessner to become Dr./Lord Windlesham.
- Bouc, a character who appears only in Murder on the Orient Express, takes on elements of Col. Race, while his choice of traveling companion, his mother Euphemia, is reminiscent of the relationship between Tim and Mrs. Allerton.
- GoofsPoirot grows a mustache to hide the scar tissue that covers most of his upper lip and cheek. Scar tissue cannot grow hair at all, as it does not contain follicles or sweat glands; it is a connective tissue that grows between the dermis after it is split. Poirot's mustache could therefore never be as full as depicted, and should have several holes or irregularities.
- Quotes
Marie Van Schuyler: You accuse me now of murder?
Bouc: Oh, no, he accuses everyone of murder.
Hercule Poirot: It is a problem, I admit.

Featured review
The book is simple. The book is not a long book just short of a 300 pages, so why the unnecessary changes to the characters from the book? It either broke interesting characters or completely removed them. Some characters from the book are combined in a single character in the movie and not for the best. WHY??? These changes completely ruined the smooth structure of the book to "simplify" it for modern audiences I suppose but again, WHY? The book is not that difficult to follow. Another thing that ruined the movie is the horrendous CGI. The CGI looks like a cutscene from a Playstation 3 game. The green screen OMG looks like someone cutout the character from a green screen with his phone and then pasted on a badly drawn background. And lastly the acting. I'm sorry but most of the cast were bad, which is sad because most of them proved their talent in other projects (except Gal Gadot. All she has is a beautiful smile)
Skip this movie. If you want a good detective story go read the book. It's not a long story. You'll probably finish the book a day. 3-4 days if english is not your first language. Yes it's that easy to read through and understand it.
