for the most part this film be populate by some wonderful character actor . agatha christie original storyline be beyond reproach . with building block like that to work with it a wonder that director alan birkinshaw wasn not able to deliver something a little close to the quality that thousand of agatha christie fan have come to expect . ten little indian fail at nearly every level and from a poor script and to inept blocking and unimaginative camera angle and to cheap dime store set and prop and to try to sensationalize christie wit by replace it with crude graphic violence . there have be other film adaptation of ten little indian all of them head and shoulder above this one . on three prior occasion i have try to sit through this film but without success . today and just after have see and then there be none ( an excellent adaptation of ten little indian ) birkinshaw version come on and i determine to sit through it all the way . my reward for that ordeal be to have the right to pan it publicly .
