Then there is the dancer Count Rudolph Andrenyi (Sergei Polunin) and his wife Elena (Lucy Boynton). There is the sultry Caroline Hubbard (Michelle Pfeiffer) who holds nothing back when describing her wealth or her numerous former husbands. There is the shrill and demanding Princess Dragomiroff (Judi Dench) and her servant Hildegarde Schmidt (Olivia Colman) who keep each other's strange company. The Austrian professor Gerhard Hardman (Willem Dafoe) who expounds about his countryman's superiority while successful car salesman Beniamino Marquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) boasts about his wealth. There is the odd Pilar Estravados (Penélope Cruz) who spends her time lecturing about sin and vice. Arbuthnot (Leslie Odom Jr.) who share an obvious mutual attraction.

There is the young and beautiful Miss Mary Debenham (Daisy Ridley) and the handsome Dr. Stuffed in the filled-to-capacity first-class carriage, he sees and meets a host of interesting individuals for him to observe. When he is called to London to consult on a murder, he reluctantly boards the famed Orient Express in Istanbul bound for Paris. After wrapping up a case, he's due for a restful experience of luxurious dining in a peaceful exotic location. If you're a Christie reader and/or have seen the previous interpretations of Murder on the Orient Express, you'll no doubt have a strong opinion about Branagh's more masculine, take-charge approach to one of the greatest murder mysteries ever penned to paper.

Mention one of them as the definitive cinematic Hercule Poirot at a Christie convention and watch the place turn into a violent riot or opinions. Controversial not because of the content, but because fans of the novel are fervent and loyal to their favorite Belgian detective and the actor who played him on the big screen or television. Of all the novels of all the characters that director and star Kenneth Branagh could have chosen from Agatha Christie's expansive library of novels, he couldn't have chosen a more controversial one.
