I am an Agatha Christie scholar, who has researched her work for years. Does that make me a better viewer? Not necessarily, but a more attentive one. Over the years I've come across several films that attempt to exploit Christie's name, either by using some of her characters (like the embarrassing recent series Hjerson) or parodying her plotlines.
This film is quite obviously inspired by Agatha Christie's literary output. It playfully combines elements from several of her novels and short stories, but then adds another turn of the screw, throws in a couple of red herrings and arrives not at one, but three astonishing great reveals, while all the time keeping the viewer's interest up.
I heartily recommend it to all Christie fans.
