Phew, I saw that ending coming a mile off especially because Bennett has such a shady head. It's all a bit lame, and technically unimpressive.

A decent film about a young man who wants to build his dream house, but first falls in love. Not exactly a typical Agatha Christie whodunit. And because of this, the course of this slightly mysterious film is difficult to predict. A rather unsympathetic main character. A mere 3.0 stars for this rather peculiar film.

It's been a while since I last read the book (it's due again soon), but I think this film adaptation follows Agatha Christie's story fairly faithfully. Not successfully, in my opinion. Everything feels off. The casting, the atmosphere, the house... And I had imagined the brilliant Santonix very differently, but oh well.
It all falls flat. Michael Rogers is a complete failure from the start, Ellie remains a lackluster character, and even George Sanders, whom I've seen shine so often, doesn't convey any dedication. The good intentions were certainly there, the tribute to my queen of crime was certainly sincere, but alas.
