Did the script writer had a bout of constipation? Because this "adaptation" (if you can call it that - more like an "inspired piece", which should not be called by the same name as the original book, because it's so far removed from the story that there's hardly any resemblance to it) is so hard to digest, I might have difficulty passing it through my system.
I really wish people wouldn't try to change the story so much so as to make it "contemporary". If we wanted that, we'd ask for an original piece. Agatha Christie is turning in her grave at the sight of these new adaptations.
The last new one that I actually liked, because it ran true to the original story was And Then There Were None. Very well done, and still contemporary, why? Because her stories will always be contemporary, because they are about HUMAN NATURE. That doesn't change! We still have the same problems and emotions as we did 100 years ago. So PLEASE stop trying TOO hard in making modern adaptations of her stories for the modern world, because her stories are TIMELESS. All you're doing is making them too complicated and ridiculous by trying too hard. PLEASE STOP NOW.
