The graphics and cinematography at least feel less fake here and are in fact the only positive as they do provide a richness of colour and a vibrance to proceedings. Murder on the Nile is largely more of the same: weak, dumbed-down adaptation, listless performances, style over substance. It felt like the classic Christie tale had been dumbed-down for modern audiences and substance sacrificed for style. Having watched the excellent 1974 version it was a definite sub-standard effort. You can tell it's being filmed in a studio in front of green screen rather than out in the snow with a real train. Where Branagh did dial things up was on the cinematography and effects but even there it falls flat: all the effects just make everything seem fake. Everything about it seemed flat and listless: paint-by-numbers adaptation, minimal intrigue (especially for a murder-drama), subdued, uninspired performances (despite an all-star cast), mindless action scenes.

I should have known better than to watch this having watched Kenneth Branagh's adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express. When Ridgeway is murdered suspicion naturally falls on de Bellefort but she has a cast iron alibi. Ridgeway stole him away from her and she seems intent on extracting some sort of retribution. The journey is soured by the appearance of Jacqueline de Bellefort, the ex-flame of Ridgeway's husband.

The host is the extremely wealthy, recently married, heiress Linnet Ridgeway. Hercule Piorot is holidaying in Egypt when he is invited aboard a cruise down the Nile. Reviewed by grantss 4 / 10 Once again Branagh opts for style over substance Set against an epic landscape of sweeping Egyptian desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travelers, and enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement. Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot's vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple's idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short.
