🏈 Review Death On The Nile
4/5: Classic! I don't remember reading this before, but it wasn't much of a surprise, as I had recently watched all three film versions (David Suchet, Peter Ustinov, Kenneth Branagh) as I was doing the Nile cruise almost as described in the book.

Kenneth Branagh’s Death on the Nile, the second instalment of the Branagh-Poirot Universe, begins with an origin story – one that is set in the early months of World War I (October 1914, to be precise). Shown in black and white, it’s literally set in the trenches of war.
Death on the Nile. The rich and glamorous Linnet Ridgeway (Gal Gadot) just married handsome himbo Simon Doyle (Armie Hammer). The couple honeymoons in Egypt, and on the surface, it’s all perfect
In Spite of these performances, Death on the Nile finds its strength in its world. Thanks to the wondrous work of production designer Jim Clay, costume and makeup designers Paco Delgado, Joban Jit Singh, and Wakana Yoshihara, Death on the Nile is able to transport audiences back to 1930s Egypt.
Wedding guests aboard the glamorous river steamer in this daring tale about the emotional chaos and deadly consequences triggered by obsessive love include Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot (KENNETH BRANAGH) and an all-star cast of suspects. Twentieth Century Studios’ “Death on the Nile” opens in U.S. theaters on February 11, 2022.
