Review of Death on the Nile

I haven't read any of the Agatha Christie novels, including the one on which this film is based, so I cannot comment on its effectiveness as an adaptation. As a film standing alone, I found it reasonably entertaining though I'll probably never see it again. I suppose I am not as enamored with the Poirot character as others. Still, during my viewing I found the ensemble cast of all-stars to be quite entertaining in the various roles. I especially liked the always entertaining Jack Warden as the Swedish doctor. Lois Chiles (Moonraker) was great just for being Lois Chiles The score, exotic locales and the Oscar winning costumes also contributed prominently in making Nile a worthwhile viewing experience. Good, 7/10.
