The cinematography was incredibly atmospheric, with a dark, creepy beauty. The cast of characters were all in top form especially Michelle Yeoh and Kenneth Branagh as Poirot. The set scene of the water-logged, decaying Venice mansion was a perfect backdrop for mayhem. Death, destruction and deception all loomed large throughout the film with each character a possible murderer; no one was innocent. I didn't give it ten stars as the loud abrupt noises throughout the film were unnecessary as it lead to nothing sinister. Overall, the pacing was good, the plot intriguing and it was a fantastic way to start the fall season.
