And Then There Were None - 2017 - 6/10
AKA - Soshite Daremo Inakunatta
Attractive looking adaptation of Christie’s tale of eight invitees and two servants stranded on an island.
Once inside, all are accused of homicide, which each denies most heartily.
This is set in the 2000’s as there are cellphones and delivery drones – which are addressed.
There is also a full police investigation, complete with oddball inspector in the Poirot mold.
More than other versions, this is quite talky. Accusations, confessions, explanations, etc …
It is also repetitive. Scenes are shown, later replayed by police, then later.
Not necessarily boring, this does feel padded.
