Review: The new film 'A Haunting in Venice' is Kenneth Branagh’s most wickedly entertaining take yet on detective Hercule Poirot.
A scene from"A Haunting in Venice."Kenneth Branagh can't catch a break. Even when "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile," the first two screen adaptations of Agatha Christie's mystery novels in which he starred, scored big at the box office, detractors sniffed that they were inferior to the 1970s originals, ridiculing the outrageous mustache Branagh wore to play master Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.
In short, "A Haunting in Venice" is Branagh's most wickedly entertaining take yet on Poirot. Some viewers will lament that Branagh's detective stories lack the snarky modern snap of the "Knives Out" films starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc, a Poirot for the 21st century.Still, it's hard to resist Branagh's delicious dive into superstition and Gothic horror.
All of this involves death by apple-bobbing and other oddities as "Everything Everywhere All at Once" Oscar-winner Michelle Yeoh shows up in high spirits as Joyce Reynolds, a medium who means to summon Alicia's spirit during the séance. No matter that professional skeptics Poirot and Ariadne are out to call her bluff: things really do go bump in the night.
