I'm surprised that Julian Fellows has a credit for this screenplay as the script was littered with language that did not come into use in the UK until decades later. It's bad enough that our language is being eradicated by Americanisms in the present day but this revisionistic assault is adding insult to injury.

As a long time reader of Agatha Christie mysteries I am always interested in how they are transmitted to the big screen. Crooked House is beautifully filmed with the usual array of slightly disfunctional characters captured in a British country house typical of Christie's books. One character dies, who did it? This is for Christie fans who will forgive the repetitive storyline and slightly annoying upper class antics as the ending is worth the wait.

The film is based on a typical British texture. We watch the criticisms and passions between the rich and the detectives, from the caste system between the rich and the rich to be 'richer'. If a spooky house has a spell, it does not go beyond successful architecture. "Crooked House," which is aimed at updating the adaptations of Agatha Christie, continues to follow the "Murder on the Orient Express" vision that has been on the horizon over the past few months, but unfortunately continues to fail the East Express and not come out of the shadow of Christie's adaptations, which have already been regularly photographed until 2013.Theatrical dialogues can be successful in a 280-page romance. The character's black-eyed winker is exaggerated, and in some places it may turn out to be a readers' head in a rumble. However, a story with 11 main characters in a production that is close to 2 hours is already very difficult to be successful.Soon will the horn pass through the ear? Can we follow a Christie adaptation that will erase the traces of the past one day? So hard. Today's technology is so hard to get into and out of touch with - as long as the '40s are trying to be staged in character with a postmortem spirit. Well, it's not strange that such an adaptation keeps abrupt when there are serious differences between the rich of the '40s and the rich of the present.

When was the last time so many talented actors got together to create something so mediocre?It was pretty boring. Wasn't able to engage me in the plot. This is coming from a guy who loves mystery/detective movies. The production design and cinematography are pretty good though.Giving it a 1/2 star higher because it has a mind blowing ending.
