Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

stevesmith-80860 This show was very well done and very interesting. The acting and writing were great. The premise of the story was not the most original or most intresting but, the writing and acting were both superb and really carried this show. 8/10

FeedingDream This is a long time favorite of mine (I have every version of this tale on DVD). This production does great respect to Christie while giving a new twist on the story.Being a big fan of all things BBC, I expected a high-value production and deep psychological investigation. And this mini delivered! The casting was brilliant and they appropriately removed characters before they could annoy you, as other interpretations did not.I loved how they made a simple tale into a series-serialist program. The production value is very high and as much as Aidan Turner was ticking me off in his attitude, it made sense in how they unfolded this version of the story and that character. A nice twist that made me recoil in the end.I think Mammoth Screen really proves their strength in production and keeps the viewer engaged both visually and in character exposure, however, if you are familiar with the plot, you might find some dialogue "forced to fit". No disrespect to Sarah Phelps - I think it was a masterful interpretation (giving new life to an age old tale). It must be tough to take Christie's work in hand, and I applaud her undertaking a project that has such a die-hard following. And she nailed it, no question. Truly brilliant. But you just might feel a twinge of "what the hell?" if you've read and seen all other interpretations before this. Get over that, though, because this does overcome!I looked forward to this becoming available on DVD because I cannot get live BBC programming, so I pre-ordered on Amazon and from my mailbox to my DVD player was less than 15 minutes. And it was everything I had hoped for, plus some. I've watched it several times now and I appreciate it more every time.To me, this production gives meaning to "reviving and redoing". New twists and new visions while still respecting the original texts.Casting was great! (you already know that) Production value was top notch and the editing and sound mixing was outstanding! With the high-bar that people expect in today's media world, this production will not let any fan of Christie feel slighted.You'll be impressed and you'll enjoy!

CWallnau Quite simply this is the best adaptation of a work by Agatha Christie that I have ever seen. Even with knowing the story, the mood, creeping dread and top notch cast make this a perfect production. Part Gothic horror, part mystery and brain teaser, it will serve as a model for cinema adaptations of future work. Well done! From the opening credits to the brilliance of the flashbacks, this is a work that achieves what the author set out to do initially in the novel and then some. In some ways, the Flashbacks, far from answering questions, force us to constantly ask ourselves what exactly we are seeing. All is made clear in the final hour and it is quite startling. In some ways, it is an example of film technique improving upon the written word.

drc-6 The previous reviewer made some very fair points - essentially commenting on the fact that all the best Marple/Poirot books have been filmed ad infinitum. 'Death Comes as the End' ought to be filmed, because it is as tricky a Christie as ever she wrote. It supplies everything the previous reviewer wanted - No Miss Marple; no Hercule Poirot and it is a classic Agatha Christie whodunit - set in ancient Egypt. This, I believe was the only time Christie set any of her novels outside the 20th century. I believe her second husband Sir Max Mallowan (a well respected British archaeologist) used to take Christie on his Egyptian digs and (that) this ended up being the theme of the book. As I said at the outset, no Poirot/no Marple, but it as good a Christie novel as you are ever going to get.
