This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

So good and genius, also the acting is good too and the cinematography also is pretty nice

I stumbled upon the book 'And Then There Were None' quite by accident, and having just finished reading 'Hercule Poirot's Christmas', I was interested in seeing how good Agatha Christie's 'masterpiece' was. The cover of the edition I bought advertised this TV series, and after I had finished what was truly a brilliant book, I was curious to see how well its visual counterpart held up.Having looked at the cast beforehand, I knew none of them except for Charles Dance, whom I knew to be a good actor and who seemed perfect in the role of the cunning Justice Wargrave. I wouldn't say I was worried about how well the other actors would hold up next to someone as good as him, but I did not think they would be as good as him. However, I am glad to say that I was wrong.Every single one of the cast delivered a stand-out performance. Although the final five survivors (Armstrong, Blore, Lombard, Claythorne and the judge himself) were definitely the best, the others were also really good and brought their respective characters to life extremely well. The setting is great, with an island quite akin to what I imagined when I was reading the book, and the cinematography is beautiful and sets the scene perfectly. The score, although a minuscule part of the whole, is also very good.Obviously when it comes to film or TV series versions of books, details are always changed or added for convenience, and I was a bit worried that the writers of the show might change details of plot devices and mess the whole thing up (as has already been the case with shows like Game of Thrones). But not only were the changes subtle and did nothing to negate the overall plot, I actually liked some of them(!). The idea to have the judge walk in on Vera at the last second and deliver a chilling monologue was surprisingly good, and I like it just as much as the book ending. Overall, this was a brilliant visual re-telling of what is surely one of the greatest mystery novels of all time. The cast are excellent, the cinematography and setting is perfect and the subtle plot changes do nothing but add to this masterpiece of film.10/10

I have already seen the first three pictures directed by René Clair, Peter Collinson and Georges Pollock and this one is for me the very best of them all. The closest to Agatha Christie's novel. I admit that a TV series frame is best to describe in depth the characters, the script has more "room" to fully paint the inner characters...Yes, I highly enjoyed this mini series and the actors are excellent. Thrilling, exciting, riveting, I can't find more words to tell you how much I appreciate this piece of work. I don't think there will be one more picture from Agatha Christie's masterpiece. And I even don't speak of other movies with the nearly scheme which have been made all over the years. They are countless...

This is a long time favorite of mine (I have every version of this tale on DVD). This production does great respect to Christie while giving a new twist on the story.Being a big fan of all things BBC, I expected a high-value production and deep psychological investigation. And this mini delivered! The casting was brilliant and they appropriately removed characters before they could annoy you, as other interpretations did not.I loved how they made a simple tale into a series-serialist program. The production value is very high and as much as Aidan Turner was ticking me off in his attitude, it made sense in how they unfolded this version of the story and that character. A nice twist that made me recoil in the end.I think Mammoth Screen really proves their strength in production and keeps the viewer engaged both visually and in character exposure, however, if you are familiar with the plot, you might find some dialogue "forced to fit". No disrespect to Sarah Phelps - I think it was a masterful interpretation (giving new life to an age old tale). It must be tough to take Christie's work in hand, and I applaud her undertaking a project that has such a die-hard following. And she nailed it, no question. Truly brilliant. But you just might feel a twinge of "what the hell?" if you've read and seen all other interpretations before this. Get over that, though, because this does overcome!I looked forward to this becoming available on DVD because I cannot get live BBC programming, so I pre-ordered on Amazon and from my mailbox to my DVD player was less than 15 minutes. And it was everything I had hoped for, plus some. I've watched it several times now and I appreciate it more every time.To me, this production gives meaning to "reviving and redoing". New twists and new visions while still respecting the original texts.Casting was great! (you already know that) Production value was top notch and the editing and sound mixing was outstanding! With the high-bar that people expect in today's media world, this production will not let any fan of Christie feel slighted.You'll be impressed and you'll enjoy!
