Death in Venice

I’ve never read the Agatha Christie book, but I’d be willing to bet it’s significantly less exciting than this adaptation by Kenneth Branagh. He knows he has his work cut-out for him, and in some ways overcompensates with a dancing camera and gothic sets from the Guillermo del Toro design guide. The result is a serviceable thriller/airplane movie with a strong cast and the requisite number of murders and twists.
