"Criminal Minds in the Sun" was filmed in 1982, not long before the star-studded film "Murder on the Nile" achieved great success, so "Crimes in the Sun" basically followed the "Crimes in the Sun" The tragedy on the Nile". The murder also takes place in a fairly closed space, and Poirot, one of the travelers, reluctantly takes on the task of solving the case.
The film tells the story of ten guests living in a luxury hotel on an isolated island, and they have ghosts on each other. One of the women was killed suddenly, and the real culprit was finally found out under the careful analysis of Belgian detective Poirot.
It is said that after the great detective Poirot solved the "Nile Massacre", he came to a small island next to Leathercombe Bay for a holiday.
The island is famous for its beach and beautiful island style, so it can be regarded as a holiday resort. Every year from June to September, there is an endless stream of tourists visiting the island, and this year is also the case. Tourists live in the only hotel on the island, the Happy Roger Hotel. Every day, they live a comfortable vacation life according to their own rules. Sometimes they go to the beach to swim, and sometimes they chat or read books on the beach loungers. is calm.
But just beneath the seemingly calm surface, the undercurrent was rolling over incessantly. The initiator of the undercurrent was a woman named Alena Marshall.
Her beautiful appearance attracted the attention of many people. On a cloudless day, Alena was strangled to death. on the beach. Judging from the motive for murder, Marshall's husband was prone to murder. Because Alena is dissolute by nature, and there are many thieves outside, Captain Marshall "should" hate Alena very much, but Poirot is also very troubled by his alibi.
Evidence and clues were put into their place by Poirot like pieces of a puzzle, and what Poirot had to do was to break the mystery of the alibi, but when he was surprised to find the truth, it turned out that everything was not as everyone thought. Simple. The murderer who killed Alena turned out to be the closest to them.
The great detective Poirot should have entered the eyes of Chinese audiences earlier than Sherlock Holmes. The rigorous logic of solving the case and the unusual ability of insight can definitely be called a detective, especially in this criminal psychology movie, who solved the case after solving the case. The plot setting not only satiated the audience's appetite, but also reflected Poirot's detective strength.
