One star cannot be more. There is no restoration of the details of the crime. The relationship between everyone and the colonel's family is directly stated by Polo. There is no process of Polo's discovery. The crime is one person and one knife is also directly stated by Polo, and no details are restored. This movie has nothing to do with reasoning, it just wants to tell the story of a person who can't punish the enemy with the law and simply kills him.
Poirot is too sentimental and doesn't quite fit the book's critically polite but calm and wise image.
This novel is very famous, I have never read it, so when I watched the movie, I expected myself to be able to reason about it, but there was no reasoning process, and the movie directly told you what happened. Very disappointed.
PS I really like the 1979 version of the Nile Massacre. The whole story doesn't show any personal emotion, only when everything is over, Polo said Molière's classic saying that a woman's greatest wish is to make people love her, on the surface An understatement, but thought provoking.
