Death on the Nile is the second film for Kenneth Branagh to direct the novel by Agatha Christie to the big screen. Death on the Nile is supposed to be an interesting and dense story of mystery, but the performance in this film feels sluggish. Death on the Nile here is a little different from the plot of the novel. Instead of being able to present a dense mystery story, this film has too much lip service in portraying the character of Linnet Ridgeway. The conflict of the story presented does not feel that it has a strong foundation to raise the conflict that is happening. The storyline feels widened so that it is not centered on a single conflict to be built. The conflict also doesn't have good enough emotions so the running of the story doesn't have a good emotional side. All of these are also not supported by strong and dense dialogue. The dialogue between the characters feels so bland that no expression is depicted.
During the two-hour run of the film, this film does present a story plot that does not perform optimally. Especially with a variety of slightly different characters performed from the novel. Of course, this film has a fairly simple ending to execute Poirot's climax in closing the case.
Just like the previous film, even though it has presented a series of well-known casts, in fact, it has not raised the mystery story of Death on the Nile. Gal Gadot is indeed able to display the graceful and dazzling character of Linnet Ridgeway. The rest of the cast didn't actually play badly. Their performance is still worthy of appreciation.
