Collider · 14 hours ago

Kenneth Branagh's 2022 adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Death on the Nile" has re-entered streaming popularity charts, riding renewed interest in Christie's work following the success of Netflix's new three-part series "Agatha Christie's Seven Dials". The film, which holds a 62% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, is the second instalment in Branagh's trilogy of Christie adaptations, which began with "Murder on the Orient Express" and continued with "A Haunting in Venice".

"Death on the Nile" stars Branagh as detective Hercule Poirot alongside Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer, and follows a lavish Nile cruise celebrating a newlywed couple that descends into murder when the bride is killed. Poirot must untangle a web of jealousy and betrayal among the wealthy passengers to identify the culprit. Branagh's Christie films have been described as visually rich and moderately well-received by critics and audiences, part of a long tradition of screen adaptations of the author's novels, including "The Mirror Crack'd" and "Appointment with Death".
