Murder on the Orient Express

Too much was changed in this adaptation turning it more into a drama than a mystery. Probably if I hadn’t known any of the books, I’d like the movie better (with the exception of the interrogations in the middle of the snow with Branagh only wearing his jacket 🙄). But why change names and relationships, why introduce a character name from a totally different book that had no reason being on that train (Pilar Estravados). Better then to change it up even more, including the title like they did with Hallowe’en Party / A Haunting in Venice.
