This weekend at the movies, we have a man with a spectacular mustache on the trail of a killer (Murder on the Orient Express, starring Kenneth Branagh and Penelope Cruz) và dads who are home again (Daddy’s home 2, starring Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell). What are the critics saying?

Strangers on a train, trapped in an avalanche, with murder afoot & the world’s greatest detective on the case: in a career full of classic mysteries, Murder on the Orient Express ranks among author Agatha Christie’s most brilliantly conceived stories. Naturally, it’s already been adapted more than once, including a 1974 big-screen version directed by Sidney Lumet và boasting some of the most famous actors of its day — an all-star ensemble spirit recaptured in the Kenneth Branagh version pulling into theaters this weekend. The award-winning director also leads the cast as renowned detective Hercule Poirot, whose dreams of a leisurely ride on the titular train are dashed when a passenger (Johnny Depp) approaches him for help, and is subsequently found stabbed lớn death by one of his fellow travelers — a group that includes characters played by Judi Dench, Michelle Pfeiffer, Penélope Cruz, Willem Dafoe, & Daisy Ridley, just lớn name a few. With all the talent assembled, it’d be a surprise if Branagh’s Orient was less than entertaining, so the good news is that critics say this retelling makes solid use of its source material và its sterling cast. The bad news? While it has its moments, it hardly feels essential — và for anyone who already knows the story, Christie’s twists will have lost their ability to lớn surprise. Don’t be afraid to lớn buy a ticket for this voyage, in other words, but you might want to lớn temper your expectations, especially if you already know whodunit.
