What kind of watch this is
Kenneth Branagh directs and stars as Hercule Poirot in this 114-minute film. The tagline says everyone is a suspect, which is true in the most literal sense. The film is a locked-room puzzle where the train itself becomes the antagonist, trapping the cast in a confined, claustrophobic space. It leans into the theatricality of the source material, treating the murder not as a dark crime but as a high-stakes performance. You watch the elegant costumes and the slow unraveling of secrets. It is a film that respects the audience’s intelligence, assuming you will keep up with the clues.
What the critics said
Critics found the production polished but the engine stalled. Rotten Tomatoes sits at 60% as of October 2024, averaging 6.1 out of 10. Metacritic lands on 52 out of 100 as of August 2025, which it files under mixed or average. Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly called it "a lushly old-fashioned adaptation." Matthew Jacobs of The Huffington Post argued the whodunit "has no steam.
How it did with audiences
$55 million in, $353 million out. That is a tidy return on investment, the kind that keeps studio executives smiling during budget meetings. In North America, it pulled in $103 million. Its opening weekend took $28.7 million, landing third place. The audience skews older, with 51% of viewers over 35. On TMDB, users give it a 6.7. For a star-studded mystery, that is a respectable score, even if the math suggests the crowd preferred the holiday comedies.
What came next for the cast
Kenneth Branagh moved from Valkyrie to Oppenheimer. Tom Bateman swapped Da Vinci's Demons for Cold Pursuit. Michelle Pfeiffer returned from Dark Shadows to star in Avengers: Endgame. Johnny Depp continued the Fantastic Beasts saga. The credits list what followed, not why. Correlation is a habit, not a cause.
