Entertainment Reviews:
There is not one likeable character among the extensive cast, which results in the logical reaction of being indifferent to the plot and its development. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rating: 4/5 --
Fun, if not cookie-cutter, Agatha Christie-based flick w/Peter Ustinov fine as Det. Hercule Poirot.

Okay whodunit suffers by comparison with Murder on the Orient Express.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Rating: 3/5 --
A fine Agatha Christie adaptation, made more watchable because of its all-star cast
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Rating: 7/10 --
The way the investigation plays out is more dynamic than that in Orient Express, with less of a focus on interrogation only and more twists and turns to come, and the ending is very satisfying.

Product Description:
A deluxe version of Agatha Christie's favorite mystery story, published in 1937, and a thematic follow-up to her Murder on the Orient Express. Set aboard a steamship cruising down the Nile, an extremely unpopular heiress is murdered and everyone on the ship is suspect. The passengers include the eminent detective Hercule Poirot (Ustinov), who cuts short his vacation in order to solve the mystery. The cast features the cream of '70s Hollywood and even includes classic-era stars Davis and Niven.
