Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4316424, member: 974"] [B]Death on the Nile[/B]. I took me three or four sittings to get through the entire film. It is slow, uninteresting, lacks suspense, action or drama and is totally and completely unsatisfying. Hitchcock said that suspense is when the audience knows something the players do not. Mystery is when the players know something that the audience does not. In the case of this film, nobody knows anything except the detective (who is also the director) and neither one is sharing a thing. So everyone spends the entire movie the dark except Branagh. Perhaps if any of the characters were even mildly interesting it could redeem the film. They are not and they do not. Zero stars. [/QUOTE]
