Murder on the Orient Express, the 2017 iteration, is a very well done telling of the story: A fancy train ride through Europe turns sinister when one of the passengers is murdered and the killer is still on the train. The ensemble cast, including Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Michelle Pfeiffer, Johnny Depp and Olivia Coleman, to name a few, is wonderful. It was good.
The Good Liar features Helen Mirren as a wealthy widow who meets a man through an online dating site. It turns out that the man is a con man (Ian McKellen) who cannot believe how lucky he is to have made this match. Jim Carter (yes, our Mr. Carson from Downton Abbey) plays his partner in crime. We follow the story as Roy, the con man, is welcomed into Betty's life and he plans the ultimate heist. It was very, very good.
MK out.
