每个伟大的侦探都需要专属于自己的经典故事。对于福尔摩斯而言，这个故事是《巴斯克维尔的猎犬》。对于阿加莎?克里斯蒂笔下龟毛的比利时侦探赫克尔?波洛而言，这个故事是《东方快车谋杀案》——故事讲述了一个嗜血的恶棍在驶向巴尔干半岛的列车上杀死了一个有钱的商人。真相果真是如此吗？西德尼?吕美特曾在1974年将该故事拍成了一部备受喜爱的电影，强大的演员阵容包括肖恩?康纳利、英格丽?褒曼和阿尔伯特?芬尼（饰演侦探波洛）。如今肯尼思?布拉纳自己戴上了侦探波洛的大胡子，披挂上阵，同时又担当幕后导演。这部新版电影的演员有约翰尼?德普、黛西?雷德利、米歇尔?菲佛、佩内洛佩?克鲁斯和朱迪?丹奇。这个故事还能挖掘出什么新内容呢？也许会有。不过，即使没有，阿婆的粉丝也肯定会去看。这部电影将于11月3日在英国上映，11月10日在美国、中国和土耳其上映，11月30日在中国香港和新加坡上映。（资料来源：二十世纪福克斯电影公司）
