A grey case. It is not the light, and it is not the darkness that has done illegal things in the name of justice. The people killed are indeed sinful people. The total time is 2 hours, the rhythm is OK at the beginning, and the background of the news and the appearance of the characters are narrated in about 20 minutes. Only 10 minutes later, the incident happened. The plot is indeed very detailed. For example, Polo's preparations before going to bed are really exquisite. Another example is eating at a restaurant on a train. I quite like the feeling of being refined and cramped. If there is no hurried ending because of the lack of time, it is incredible to know the whole case directly after the investigation. As a detective film, if you can't put the audience into thinking and discover blind spots, it is a big flaw. The audience is in a fog, and they can't understand the screenwriter's intentions. Furthermore, when the Colonel said in the interrogation stage that "a jury composed of twelve good men is indeed a sound system", it is easy to associate the following climax with the twelve stab wounds mentioned above. threshold has been lowered. As for the language accent, this is a plus point for me. People from different countries talk with their own accents, which are real and appropriate. However, I personally don't like this Polo very much, it does not meet the expected image in my heart. What is touching is always only a story, the law does not tell a story, and a crime is a crime. I believe that Poirot finally chose not to tell the truth to the police, not to compromise with the "jury", but with the tragic story. Just let it, it should, stop there. But in this version, that tangled emotional expression is less than satisfying. (And to be honest, those truths are strictly only Polo's personal inference, there is not enough evidence to support it, and there is no way to convict based on suspicion.)
