In “Death on the Nile,” Hercule Poirot’s Egyptian adventure aboard a glamorous river steamer descends into a terrifying search for a murderer when an idyllic honeymoon is shattered by violent deaths. This sinister tale of obsessive love and its murderous consequences plays out in an epic landscape of danger and foreboding, with enough shocking twists and turns to leave audiences unsettled and guessing until the final, shocking denouement.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:
"An expert, beautifully-crafted job of filmmaking, with a pleasing balance of flourishes and subtleties. Open and airy as opposed to the compact, constricted feel of the last film, and this one deepens the Poirot character in many touching, emotional ways."
★★★★ - Combustible Celluloid
"The story and WWI origins of H. Poirot expands both his character and the themes. The settings are lush and the motif regarding the elusiveness of love is perfect for the Valentines Day longings in us all. The trip was absorbing and the mystery sublime."
★★★★ - WBGR-FM
