A total disappointment. I didn't have high expectations though but it was way more worse than I thought. Disoriented script, bad actings, poor direction, no suspense at all which is usually inherent to Poirot stories and very predictable. The only thing that kept me to my seat till the end was the great take on superstition, the fraudulent approach of all so-called mediums and their tricks to manipulate those in pain.
I always admire movies which deal with ignorant people who fall short into the trap of these charlatans. That there's always a rational explanation for a bizarre occurrence. Nevertheless, it had nothing to do with Kenneth Branagh but the clever story of Aghatha Christie.
And to me, Knives Out still stands out among the recent detective movies.
