Poirot - Agatha Christie's Poirot - The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd Reviews

Again, another intricate plot from Agatha Christie. David Suchet is the ideal Poirot, weaving his way nimbly through another complicated murder.

not one of my favourites but still worth a look

Don't watch this - read the book

This is Christie's masterpiece - it is simply not suited to film. You must read the book!

Not a patch on the book

David Suchet is excellent as always and the sets are good. However, the book is much better and well worth reading.

Absolute Class

Loved it. Poirot and Jap, what a star act. Beautiful sets and costume to take you into the era. Great Christie plot with lots of twists nd red herrings. Good cast. If you like a good murder watch this.

[Highly rated reviewer]

Excellent Plus a Bonus

This story was made in 1999 and it's a cracker with some credible acting on everyone's part.

David Suchet again delights as the Belgian Super-Sleuth and Philip Jackson returns as Chief Inspector Japp. Good story with a villain and plot that's actually solvable if you watch and listen carefully.

And if that wasn't enough, you have with it the bonus of Lord Edgware Dies, which again is excellent featuring Hugh Fraser as Captain Hastings and Poirot's secretary Miss Lemon played wonderfully by Pauline Moran.

Again it's a nicely paced story and if you watch hard you will guess who the murderer is.

One thing to beware of, if you hire this - Don't Hire the DVD in the Series called Lord Edgeware Dies because that one is a reverse of this, in that the other story is 'The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd'. So save that extra pointless rental :-)

the murder of Roger Ackroyd

It has many twist's and turns and keeps you guessing. As usual you think you have worked it out and low and behold, u find u have got it wrong !! Not surprising, but still enjoyable to watch.
