The trailer had me interested, back when I first saw in in the before times, and the cast sealed the deal when I saw exactly who was in it and the types of characters they were playing. I wasn’t familiar with the story before watching it, and while the basic blocks of a murder mystery are there, the pieces are all used in ways that seemed novel and entertaining. There’s no twist ending, but again, the ending wasn’t what I was expecting at all, and enjoyed it much better than what I was assuming was going play out.

Two nights ago the wife and I watched the original Death on the Nile and the remake back to back, both for the first time (old one first). Absolutely loved the cast of each. The first one was so much better. There was much more suspense, much more drama (in a good way). As seasoned movie and tv watchers, we had NO idea who done it until it was actually revealed, and the final murders took us quite by surprise. If I had to recommend one over the other, I’d recommend the first one for the story and suspense, the second only for the cast (if only for being current).
I was unaware that there was a previous version of this done, maybe I’ll check it out.
