love the story

I loved the story, and everything but I felt done of the voices were a bit strange. it was quite obvious done accents were not real ones and were a bit silly.

Theres a reason its a classic!

The performance was well done with good attention to detail to include backgroun sound effects. Its a little hard in the begining to figure out who is talking and who is present though.

What a classic!

Enjoyed it very much. Made a long car ride pass quickly. We’ll done! Would like to hear more like this.

Good version !

I loved this version of a great story. A must for Agatha Christie fans. John Moffatt does a good job as Poirot!

I loved the book

The book is great and the movie is on spot. This is a must read, and then watch first movie. The story lines are out of this world. Make me feel like I'm on the train.
