The plot: Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple’s idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short.
I was waiting to see what’s got in store from this film.
Death On The Nile Was Really Good.
Pros: I feel like this feels a follow-up to (2017) Murder on the Orient Express to me. I was impressed how they managed to get a huge collection of actors for this movie. Everything from the costumes, the Setting & the music choices were so on point. Kenneth Branagh did it again as Hercule Poirot & It did grab your attention throughout this film to see who committed the murder.
Cons: At times I did struggle to keep up what’s going on in the film. This film went on for too long & the ending did feel under-whelming.
I recommend watching this film for this weekend to those who saw Kenneth Branagh’s other work.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
