Over the years I've come to look forward to each new installment of Suchet's Poirot and, until now, I've never been disappointed. Sadly, the team who chose to "modernize" Miss Marple got their hooks into Murder On the Orient Express.How anyone can imagine that they can "improve" on an Agatha Christy mystery is beyond me. Such arrogance!Here we have Poirot utterly out of character condoning the stoning of an adulteress. This wasn't anything Christie wrote; just some "improvement" this director or writer thought they would ad to show perspective. And this writer/director apparently has insight into Poirot's religious beliefs as well--what a surprise to Agatha Christie.Poirot is depicted as Javert-like in his belief that "the law" must always be obeyed. Such rot! Didn't they read Curtain?This adaption isn't just bad; it's a literary crime.
