    • Trivia
      Sir Kenneth Branagh was aware of the over-extravagance of his character's mustache, but he justified it by the fact that there were fifteen quotes in the original novel mentioning the mustache.
    • Goofs
      Between Vinkovci (last stop before the murder) and Brod (today Slavonski Brod, the final stop in the movie) there is roughly 70km of a totally flat railroad. Nowhere near the alpine/mountain/snowy setting that it is depicted in the movie.
    • Quotes

      Edward Ratchett: You are a strange, peculiar man.

      Hercule Poirot: I am of an age where I know what I like and what I do not like. What I like, I enjoy enormously. What I dislike, I cannot abide. For instance, the temporary pleasantries before what is determined to be a business discussion.

      Edward Ratchett: You're fun.

    Average

    Agatha Christie needs a bit more mystery and depth in a film particularly when the story is so well known. Branaghs's Poirot is more eccentric than brilliant, in fact most of the characters are over played and a bit silly.

    In the end you don't really warm to anyone or want more, it's very predictable and flat.
