I can almost hear you thinking “Wait, what’s new here?” Seriously, y’all think way too loud. Try to tone it down, will you? And listen up, because Complete is definitely a book you’ll want to add to your library.
Nutshell: Gorgeous visuals, a stellar cast, and a killer mystery adds up to a promising film. Though things tend to sputter midway through, and the plot focuses a bit too heavily on Poirot, it all gets wrapped up nicely. Plus, that scenery! Grade: B
