A thrilling adventure that steams ahead, despite a few faults on the line.
Having not seen any of the previous adaptations or read the original novel, I was pleasantly surprised by this. The characters are all presented rather well, there are some outstanding bits of cinematography and the music is great in building tension throughout.
However, there are a few pacing issues within the 2nd act which tends to feel a little repetitive as all the characters are outlined and Kenneth Branagh does put himself at the centre of the film. This ultimately leads to some weak storytelling in terms of the overall twist and reveals towards the end but creates a great murder-mystery overall.
