Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
拍的埃及风景还是挺美的，大牌云集也挺养眼的。其实阿婆的原著就存在前半段废笔太多的缺憾，结果22版非常不幸的继承了这个缺点。一个和主线剧情无关的序幕拍了快十分钟，直到一个小时零五分钟时才案发，到最后揭示真相只有不到十五分钟的时间，仓促到了一种程度，最后真相的揭露完全就是走过场，原著本来有抽丝剥茧的论证过程，电影虽然不能照搬原著，但是完全作为推理片这样程度的敷衍实在是无法让人满意。问身边的朋友完全没有恍然大明白的感觉，最后看完都一种就这的感觉。
没看过原著和老版电影所以故事还是有可看性的。铺垫那么长是故意让猜出真凶的吧，推理都没有只管陈述犯案过程，我也不知道主角是什么时候知道那么清楚的。另外，开头那几分到底跟正片有什么关系。
盖尔·加朵美绝了，豆瓣评分也低得有点莫名。尼罗河畔的所有风景都让我甚为怀念19年底在埃及的近半个月回忆，每一处场景都记忆犹新。
既然这里面百合情节能过，老友记干嘛要删
虽然不太喜欢这种晃来晃去不清晰的视觉感受，但中间疯狂机器博士的故事还是绝对不错！
新版与时俱进地在挨个排查时加了同性恋和种族歧视议题，奈何仍然全员酱油。艾米汉莫演得太差，假到连我这个没看过原著和老版的人不用推理就能猜到凶手，能让这种表演通过，导演难辞其咎，嚯忘了导演是比波洛更自恋的人了，他才不关心别人的存在感呢。
又包场～nice/最近Tiffany这款项链出镜率真高
虽然有原著经典的剧本压阵，但翻拍的依然很平庸。除了几个细节修改的较为完善外，前一小时的铺垫让人提不起兴趣，案件发生后，波洛屡屡靠着恐吓激将法盘问嫌疑人，推理过程只是寥寥数笔，既没有破案的恍然畅快，也没有对案件与人性的唏嘘感慨。
“没有物质的爱情就像一盘散沙，不用风吹走几步就散了”改得好几把怪，推理什么的就算了，肯尼斯·布拉纳自恋/致敬到了极点，也就变成了一种不明觉厉的装逼劲儿，不管怎么说看到了不少新东西，的确是用心改的，阿婆粉一本满足，
所以刚开场那一幕交代Poirot的经历有什么用？就为了说他为何要蓄须？里面为了政治正确而改的角色定位也太多了吧~~两个黑人角色，就为了带出小时候被种族歧视？教母的同性恋什么鬼啊喂？Hammer的在床边哭那段演技，我仿佛在看国内那部演戏的综艺一样。。。朵姐虽然好美，但她的气场真的太酷了，实在表现不出那种对周遭疑虑重重郁郁寡欢的样子。前半段剧情实在有点太长，后面解谜就显得太短了，而且也没有让观众参与，直接让Poirot揭晓答案，就显得有点没趣。
这不是悬疑推理片，这是爱情阴谋片……风情万种的女侠值得拥有。值得大题的是，着这部“爱情”为主题的大戏里，异性恋没一个好结局，唯有搞姬是真爱，哈哈哈哈？
真希望有高人能教教肯尼思·布拉纳怎么拍电影。
一直看导演把自己变成整个故事的核心，那么多卡司给他当配，就wtf……还有我觉得加朵就不太适合这个角色。
我本来就是打算先看新版再看老版，因为新版太烂了很容易过段时间忘记，所以我不清楚原著最后Simon和Jacqueline有没有直接现场殉情，我反正看着挺尬的，还有其他角色，Andrew被侦探说一下就直接认了，莫名其妙就推出来石头的问题。

3.5 2月19日去看的，鉴于没抱什么期望，所以反而也没什么失望。电影整体而言，除了波洛不是波洛，改编程度太大之外，倒基本也没感觉到什么缺点，艾米·汉莫的演技挺好的倒有点出乎意料，可惜出现在了这么一部作品里面，其实快一个月过去看了个什么我基本忘了，阿婆原著里的波洛可是很有魅力的，这个改动实在是显得毫无魅力，其他人物我更是没留下什么印象。
为我前担，已经沉沦到尼罗河底的艾米汉莫加一星，其他的，全是为19年春天我看见的开罗、阿斯旺、卡纳克、丹达拉、吉萨大金字塔，为我曾顺流而下的那条世界上最清澈的大河……
Kenneth Branagh版《東方快車謀殺案》已經是我對阿婆作品魔改的極限了，而他卻還得寸進尺，於是，史上最招人煩版波洛誕生了，如果說能夠把《尼羅河上的慘案》拍得像《小時代》算是一種成功的話，那他是相當成功，不好好拍懸疑，也不好好拍推理，卻給波洛瘋狂加愛情戲，主次不分，是只想給自己的角色加戲。最後，送給Kenneth Branagh一句話，你他媽給我離阿婆作品遠遠的，我能夠接受繼續翻拍的唯一理由，那就是Kenneth Branagh被開除！
能把阿婆的故事拍稀碎，也是一种反向的超能力，我觉得没吃晚饭冒着冷风花着钱跑去看它的我才是惨案本身。
还来莫名其妙黑白配爱情线，我指的是侦探和Salome，这电影烧钱来玩的吗
