Poirot: Murder on the Orient Express (2010)
A bit deeper
This version I loved. Poirot as a person delivering justice all his life, and facing a situation as this, would not easily have let the vigilantes go. It would indeed go against his principles. In all the stories he has always, no matter the circumstance, let the guilty pay the price. He has been sometimes diplomatic about it, but he has never let anyone go.
He has given speeches about the justice!
To let everyone get away with their deed would indeed pain him, as is so very well shown by Suchet in the end. He questions God, questions what is His true will and can he live with a God who allows revenge.
The ending here is very deep and very disturbing if we think of what really happened. 12 people murdered 1 man. They had a reason. We all agree on that. But does that mean that murder is ok under certain circumstance?
WE can think so, but what about Poirot? Who was always fighting for justice, not for revenge? I do not think it would be so easy for him. And this is why I really appreciate this version. Here we see the character of Poirot take on flesh beyond the books, we see him become a real person.

Best show about supers
This show was I think the only one, which managed to intelligently show people actually have to live with the issues their abilities raised. It showed how the characters gradually evolved, how they came to accept each other, how they learned how to compliment each other. While staying human. Staying themselves. With no shining fuss and no loud and proud savior complex. This show was about people. It was realistic. And that is what made it so great. I can't believe crap gets 10 seasons, while this intelligent show got only 2. Very bad choice. Big loss for all the fans out there.

Great anime!
Opposed to the previous reviewer I find this anime fast paced and an adventure. I just binge-watched it in one go. It really shows that sometimes it is impossible to agree on a view of something. Granted, there is annoyingly much of crying going on at any emotional moment, and this is no spoiler, as they cry even if they just remember some nice scene from the past.. Aside from that, the rest is pure action from the first episode on. And in every episode something important is uncovered. Sure, there are lots of shows with a similar setting, but for me this one is one of the best precisely because there is a lot of action. I'm off to find the webcomic.
