The dark and evil atmosphere of this intepretation is astonishing, the dramatic fight inside Poirot about what to do and the fear he had was so intense. When he took his rosary and begin to cry, I started to cry too. Very emotional music, spectacular David Suchet. One of the best movie I've seen in the last years.

@@brigadier-tc8565 True, but in the book ('Murder on the Orient Express') Poirot adopts a very tolerant attitude towards the perpetrator at the end. He's quite relaxed about it all and agrees to place the alternative theory before the Yugoslavian authorities. I believe he felt that justice had indeed been done in respect of Cassetti, and he sympathised with the perpetrator in consequence. In this film however he gets terribly worked up about it all. I don't want to say too much in case some people on here haven't read the book or watched the film, which is why this comment is a bit cryptic.

@@mfjdv2020 I too loved the first few seasons - they were light-hearted and almost like a TV-family sitcom; and it was good to see them reunite that cast and tone in "The Big Four" episode. That said and done, I do also admire the ITV production team for making the final seasons so dark. I think it's a sign of the times and the increasingly inhumane world which we live in. Also, it was ultimately Poirot's humanity which wins over everything else. When you get older, you become more rigid and this might be especially true for his potentially undiagnosed OCD condition. The fact that he chose mercy over a rigid definition of law and faith - despite how spiritually and medically hard that might have been for him - is a tribute to his amazing character. It's the same theme they carry into ITV's production of "Curtain". Incredible stuff.

But killing someone who needlessly killed a little child and wouldn't pay for it... I don't see it as an evil action. As far as we know, they never killed innocent people. Also, I have to remind you that they killed him because justice was not done. When a crime causes so much pain on so many people who never did something wrong and the perpetrator walks free and unpunished, what would you do? Stay there and just be ok with it? Let it happen? Let the victims have no closure? Casetti had to pay and if the system didn't give him the punishment he deserved, other people would. They didn't kill Casetti out of malice. They did it so a horrible man wouldn't go unpunished. I never said your opinion was wrong. I'm just stating mine.

There is a lot of conflict going on. The woman being stoned bothered me, too. On one hand, yeah it MIGHT be part of their law, but what about the guy?!?! I mean, it takes two to tango. Permitting me to be theological here, but in the 8th chapter of John, the Pharisees brought a woman to Christ who was supposed to be stoned for adultery . In the text it said that Jesus stooped down and wrote on the dirt or sand... what He wrote is anyone's guess, but guessing isn't wrong, so I'll suggest that He wrote, "Where is this woman's partner? If she is committing adultery, WHO is she committing adultery with?" The 'justice' is not justice when only ONE person is paying for the sin committed by two people. That MIGHT be one of the reasons Jesus let her go. I think, had that question been posed to Poirot, he would have answered sympathetically and admitted the point. Over-all, it was a good but difficult episode to watch. This one religious woman who insisted that she was justified in killing Cosetti because she was without sin...O-KAY!! Compare that woman's self assured statement to Poirot's actions in Curtain. While X skated JUST far enough outside legal perameters NOT to be caught, Poirot KNEW what X was doing and that he would do it again unless he was stopped. So he did what he had to do and THEN prayed for forgiveness before he died.

I thought it was weird as well how nonchalant Poirot was towards the stoning, and in how the film tries to suggest a parallel between it and the murder of Ratchet. Yet the two events are not equivalent, adultry is not remotely comparible to kidnapping and murdering a child. The murder of Ratchet was a result of the grieving family and friends of Ratchet's victin taking revenge after the legal system had let them down, while rhe stoning was a result of family 'honor' and rooted in misogynistic sexual mores.

True. But I think it was an issue of perception. The woman (Mary?) says to Poirot ; *"She was just an adulteress, she didn't commit murder!"* even as she knew what she was about to partake in. On one hand, you see the side of the friends and family of the Armstrong's . On the other, you see Poirot's P.O.V. which was proven inside of MINUTES after he declared *"You cannot take the law into your own hands! Judge and jury; they elect themselves?!..."* As soon as he and Michele adjourn to another room, Mary's husband was going to shoot both of them. It was a teeter Toter ride in a house of horrors. I could go on about how that lady was wrong about there are some sins God does not forgive, but I'll just say I understood how they felt. At the end of the day, Poirot had to admit the same to himself; wondering if God would forgive him. Answer: YES.

I have to say that this is an even more special rendition of a special episode. I have a suggestion for those before me: if you want to get the story in the book literally, then don't watch the movie, just read the novel. On the other hand, I feel it was a brilliant move by the creators of the series that they didn't make another obligatory book adaptation (there is already x version of this story with y actors), because I have never seen an episode in the series with such a deep moral message before. Well, this was a series that ran for more than 20 years with David Suchet in the main role, which deviates a little from the usual routine with the last episodes. Just as age is visible on the actor, the creators do not deny it from the character either, and because of this, an older, wiser, morally deeper-thinking detective appears, who is no longer just the cold-blooded hound who only cares about the given case and professional honor , but - and this is how the story fragment at the beginning of the film comes into the picture - he looks at the world in a more unified way and indeed philosophizes and moralizes. In this film, Poirot doesn't just solve the case, he makes a moral judgment... Can he make a moral judgment? Well, the film is about judging. I think it's a brilliant, thought-provoking, moving episode, really unusual from the series. ...and music is perfect.

It's even better when you consider it's context. The entire film score is almost entirely minor key or dissonant, until this moment (specifically 02:40) when the conclusion of the film is made and you realize that Poirot is going to let them all get away with the murder. Then, and only then does the composer give you the release you have been waiting for from minor keys and dissonant chords to what the themes have all been hinting at. Then the score builds to 03:00 when the theme is finally and fully revealed and you realize that there will be no more killings. The characters can be 'at peace' (or at least as much at peace as they can be) and the credits can roll in a major theme. IMO, the composer also plays with the tempo in the credits...gradually increasing the pace and adding the train's theme to give you that sense of being able to 'move on.'
This scene and music totally epitomize self-abnegation in this story.

Have you seen CURTAIN? Bravo to Kevin Eloyt for doing what could / SHOULD have been done in the novel, if Poirot's author actually gave a damn about him!!! (HASTINGS finds Poirot) . Anywho, there was an article in the Mirror (British Tabloid ) where the 'writer' (?) gives the impression that Poirot just lost it and went on a murderous rampage. What he DID was all he could do. Since Norton had found an ingenious way of killing two people and not being able to be touched by the law, Poirot had two choices; LET Norton continue killing people, or kill Norton to stop him from killing anymore. While Poirot felt remorse for what he did; asking Hastings if God would forgive him, Norton killed so many people without a shred of remorse. He even smiled when Poirot had a gun to his head; thinking that Poirot would be legally culpable for his actions. In fact, Poirot didn't avoid taking his medication to AVOID judgement but to face it. A court of law might have found him guilty or might have thought the poor old detective's little grey cells finally turned on him. But Poirot didn't fear their judgement so much as he worried about THE judge. Norton probably didn't even think about such a thing. Even when a gun was pointed at him. I'm guessing Poirot fared MUCH better in that Court than Norton did.

@Stefano Pavone For sure. And Poirot didn't even want to. I'm sure he racked his little grey cells to find a way around what he didn't WANT to do. In the meantime, Norton got some perverse pleasure from messing with people's lives. GOTTA WONDER.... IF Judith had taken the bait and done what she believed to be 'merciful' , who do you think would have ended up dead? Her sweetie's hypchondriac wife or Poirot? Norton was BAITING her seriously, (at dinner) and Judith was talking about the 'mercy' of putting the old and the ill out of the way. In earshot of someone who was both old and ill. (Poirot had Angina) . Norton's like, "Well, put up or shut up, girl. Do what you SAY you believe in!" Simple answer: Poirot. His death would have best benefitted Norton, JUST IN CASE he found a way to legally nail Norton, he had to be stopped. The fact that he was frail would have made Judith's ethics very useful. Not only would Poirot be out of the way, but Hastings' daughter would hang for it. It's all good. I actually wrote a version of Curtain where Judith DID hang for killing Poirot, but then I thought of someone who made a LOT more sense to a final conflict and who I desperately want to see with her neck in a noose. Ariadne Oliver.

Poirot cried because he wasn't sure he was right in letting them go. But he was looking at himself; WHAT IF he was the father or grandfather of a child who'd been murdered by Ratchett / Cossetti? Would he have been one of Cossetti's killers? More than anything, it's the lack of certainty, even in the law that scared Poirot, as well as the eternal penalties he felt were part of making the wrong decision.

And, this conflict of beliefs in a way sets up the final story where a similar decision has to be made by Poirot. I watched this first to acquaint myself with this character, and frankly was slightly callous. Then I watched the whole series and soon realizing the tragedy of this man (who in his peculiarities reminds me of myself) having his whole motivation questioned and put to the test in so harsh a situation. I always love these detective stories by default, but this series is above and beyond my favorite.

I agree with you. I didn't enjoy this film / episode either. Very black and morbid indeed. In general I love David Suchet as Poirot, but here I have to admit he is a trifle over the top. However I didn't like Toby Jones as Cassetti. He looks and acts like a little kid playing cowboys and indians, not like a sinister murderer in his 50s (or even older - I'll have to read the book again, for the 100th time!)

Here’s what I think would be a perfect, or nearly perfect, adaptation to Murder on the Orient Express, the adaption that will never be made now because the time for it is past, or nearly past. David Suchet as Poirot, but Kenneth Branagh as Director and perhaps in the role of Colonel Arbuthnot, or a version of Monsieur Bouc as an alternative (Bouc was almost contemporary to Poirot in age in the book, not a younger side-kick as the most recent adaptions portray him). Most (but not all) of the cast from Branagh’s version, with one or two persons from this cast who did exceptionally well. The cinematography would be Branagh’s team. But the general script would be most like the 1974 movie version, which is the closest one to the book. Suchet would always have creative sway over the character of Poirot, his quirks and mannerisms and how he would say his lines. Patrick Doyle would compose the music. I think he proved his stuff in the Branagh film. They would take as few creative liberties with the book as possible, as Christie wrote the story so well that you can tell in the adaptions what is hers and what is apocryphal.

David Suchet is the definitive Poirot, but this adaptation was an insult to the book and to the character Poirot. It wasn't that difficult of a decision to let them go in the book, and it shouldn't have been a difficult decision. Ratchett/Cassetti murdered a little girl in cold blood, and caused the deaths of 4 more innocent people. He needed to be punished for what he did.

I have not always been a fan of the original novel... I love christie... ABC murders... death on the nile... Crooked house... evil under the sun... and then there were none... dead man's folly... so many more... the clocks... after the funeral.... love them all.... Curtain too... buckle my shoes, five little pigs.... orient express and Roger ackroyd i kinda always felt were over rated... Roger ackroyd, if you remove the trick that christie uses, its just average, the alibi with the time and gramophone and all is just average.... the murder is not as ingenious as death on the nile or evil under the sun.... its characters are not as intriguing as death on the nile or five little pigs... Murder on the orient express, when reading the book, I always felt... "will poirot let them go.?" Christie does not answer this... Poirot himself in the book does not answer this, leaving it on the guy with him and the doctor I think... This episode i really like because it shows poirot's conflict... as to what justice is.... I really liked this one

I think Poirot let them go because HE wasn't sure what HE would have done in the same situation. If their feeling justified was all there was to it, Poirot would have turned them over, but he was conflicted. It is a dark episode and you don't see Poirot smile once.
