‘Death On The Nile’ review: Old-school whodunit that should float your boat


Despite a pace as languid as the river it is set on, Kenneth Branagh’s portrayal of Hercule Poirot is good enough to justify watching this mystery unfold in the cinema. – Photos: Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

We knew this movie was coming the moment Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot got a message at the end of 2017’s Murder On The Orient Express asking him to travel to Egypt to investigate a ‘murder on the bloody Nile’.

What we didn’t know then was how long it would take for this movie to finally be released, thanks to a combination of a global pandemic and a recent scandal involving one of its stars. In a way, the whole ‘will it be released or not’ mystery actually managed to pique my interest in the movie more.
