2/10
Terrible Adaptation of the novel
7 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I am not one of those complaining all the time if a sentence from a book is missing in a film. In fact I was not even aware what the story of the written novel was. But the story of the film adaptation is so bad that I simply couldn't believe that Agatha Christie wrote it. So I checked synopsis of the novel and I suggest everyone to do the same.

They are completely different. The actual written story sounds interesting and would make a much better film. Instead we get this completely unbelievable story with some of the worst last 5 minutes of the series.

What bank would entrust so much money to a gambling addict? His fiancée stole the key and what happens to her? Nothing. He gambles whole nights on the most important journey of his career and as a punishment he... gets promoted?! Somehow his promotion also solves the gambling addiction. Look at that happy couple, how cute...

This episode is insulting my grey cells.
