Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

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

matthijsalexander Let me not say too much, but just 'wow'! Not WOW with capitals, but a modest wow.I really enjoyed watching this. The characters are all interesting, the murder mystery concept scripted very well, the twist not obvious at all, but only very sharp and detail oriented persons may figure it out. The back stories provide insight in the characters which slowly reveals the whole. This mini-series has it all. Watch, but above all.... Binching required!One of those series that is best watched with the girlfriend or wife. (I have to fill up the 10 lines minimum)

Josephine I really liked this rendition of the book. It has already been filmed before, but that one is completely redone from the book (it became a new story altogether) and I did not like that at all. This one, on the other hand, is true to the book. It is also so fast paced it never got boring This in particular I'm really happy about, because this isn't a story that would handle that well. The story itself is probably one of my favorites (thanks Agatha Christie!) and I've wanted a decently filmed version like this one since I first read the book several years ago. I am so so happy with this mini-series and I definitely recommend it to anyone with this kind of taste in stories!

drc-6 The previous reviewer made some very fair points - essentially commenting on the fact that all the best Marple/Poirot books have been filmed ad infinitum. 'Death Comes as the End' ought to be filmed, because it is as tricky a Christie as ever she wrote. It supplies everything the previous reviewer wanted - No Miss Marple; no Hercule Poirot and it is a classic Agatha Christie whodunit - set in ancient Egypt. This, I believe was the only time Christie set any of her novels outside the 20th century. I believe her second husband Sir Max Mallowan (a well respected British archaeologist) used to take Christie on his Egyptian digs and (that) this ended up being the theme of the book. As I said at the outset, no Poirot/no Marple, but it as good a Christie novel as you are ever going to get.
