Badly shot but high marks for the story itself

The rhythm is not good, the whole is very dull, and the soundtrack is also problematic. There are several soundtracks that the director may want to emphasize the importance of the plot, but the effect is not good.

The exterior shots are very atmospheric, the sea is very blue and the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and the interior of the train is also exquisite and lively.

The actors acted very well, no flaws and no mistakes, but the tension of the story shown by the camera is not enough, it is very weak, it can even be said to be boring, but the core is very good, I feel that the director did not shoot well, and it was only near the end. A small climax was reached, but the replay of Poirot's recollection of the case was not handled well.

Nonetheless, the film's handling of the case is still worth pondering.

You can also use 'what if at the beginning' to apply to all the people involved in the case, but unfortunately there is no such if, after reading it, it is also sad, and it is still very sad. If the law enforcement officers are quick and precise, the murderer will be brought to justice. , Is it possible to repair the victim's mind in time, so as to avoid more harm and more mistakes?
