So, for them, after a while 'there is not a great deal happening plot-wise, with the programme not so much gripping us as drifting pleasantly by'. Another reason could be that most people who gave this film bad reviews, especially the critics, are actually familiar with Christie's work (I'm more of a Conan Doyle guy) and are comparing it to the novel rather than to other detective movies. Despite that, I did notice that the film kept tilting dangerously towards a melodrama, which I hate in any kind of movie that isn't a melodrama (my problem with Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' as well) but overall it didn't seem too unnecessary and distracting. So, if the story is good, I don't notice anything else that might be bad, but that's only for detective films. First reason is that I'm a bit too obsessed with detective stories so I might let everything except for the mystery elements slide because I'm so immersed in trying to guess the outcome myself. A huge family house, a murder, everybody is a suspect - classic, what else do you want? I liked the story, I liked the cinematography and directing, and the acting was also ok however, this film, like 'Murder on the Orient Express' which is also based on Agatha Christie, got very mediocre reviews and I think I now understand why. Now, it isn't that I've never heard anything good about this film I've actually never heard anything at all, which is surprising, considering how much I enjoyed it. Ten Little Indians This is a yet another modern film adaptation of Agatha Christie's mystery crime stories.
