It's DEATH on the Nile, not MURDER on the Nile.
I watched it last week. The cinematography is wonderful, very pleasant for the eyes. But that's it. The characters are so flat, defined by a couple of sentences and nothing else. At some point everything happens so fast that you just don't know what is going on. Poirot's considerations are not based on facts the viewer can actually see.
Not the best adaptation of the novel, my favorite being John Guillermin's from 1978.
