Murder On The Orient Express.
Beautifully photographed. Snow, art deco glamour, cracking cast and a great story with which to work.
The result? Dull, dull, dull. Dreadfully dull. Boring. Almost boring. Dull.

They are poorly-written, sophomoric and their plots are, by turns, facile and utterly implausible.
You just like the suits and the art deco.
Exactly so.
