I'd give this movie a 6/10. I really really wanted to like it, I love agatha christie adaptations but this one was not great.
Fair analysis. Feel like it needed to lean more into the horror side of things, although I can see that that might alienate some of the audience. Instead of all the camera angles and Poirot occasionally seeming doddery I'd have preferred if the audience experienced more of what he was seeing and hearing, make it feel more like there could be something supernatural going on.
What was with the silly moustache? I'm not familiar with the source material, is this part of the design?
Oh definitely. Poirot is a silly kind of character in the first place.
