Customer Reviews of Poirot - Evil Under the Sun
EVIL UNDER THE SUN is another Suchet classic!!! After collapsing while eating at a posh restuarant, famed detective Hercule Poirot (David Suchet) is sent by his doctor to an island resort, where he is subjected to a painful program of diet and exercise. However, it will be his "little grey cells" that get the exercising when a beautiful actress is found strangled on the beach. EVIL UNDER THE SUN is another film from the top-notch POIROT series from A&E, with David Suchet once again bringing his definitive portrayal of the Belgian sleuth to life. Hugh Fraser provides solid back-up as the rather dense Capt. Hastings, while Philip Jackson is his droll self as Inspector Japp. As is usual with this series, the locations are wonderful and the 30's atmosphere is wonderfully invoked. This version is not to be confused with the somewhat campy film starring Peter Ustinov. While that one is fun in its own way, it pales in comparison to the Suchet version. As always, this flick is another delightful treat for fans of Agatha Christie's classic detective and one I highly recommend.
THANK GOD HE'S BACK!!!!!!
Whew.......I was beginning to wonder if we'd end up living in a world without any more of Suchet's Poirot!! As much reverence and respect as I have for all the older big screen Poirots, I must say that I just simply adore Suchet's characterization of him. When I read the books, Suchet is whom I picture.
Well, you know the plot already.........watching this almost seems like a completely different story than the earlier Ustinov film...............but I love it all the same! It's truer to the book, more serious, and sure to entertain even the hardest-to-please Poirot fans!
Dreadful
I have to say that I have never found David Suchet's prissy Poirot (that voice! Ye Gods!) to my extreme liking. I have also not liked how most of the stories seem to all take place in 1935 or 1936. Nevertheless I have found the series enjoyable despite its continuity flaws. However...
These latest films (Roger Ackroyd, Lord Edgware and Mesopotamia) have been seriously bad. The acting is often very stiff and the direction very poor. The actors mostly have no charisma at all and walk through their roles without any commitment to them. The actress playing Arlene in this obviously did little if any reading of the book. The same is true of the leading lady in Murder in Mesopotamia. I doubt the producers even care if the actors in these adaptations suit the roles.
This adaptation is SO very far removed in too many bad ways from the book (Poirot at a HEALTH CLINIC???). Stick to the Ustinov film. It too veers from the novel, but in a most pleasant manner - AND the acting is flawless.
Despite what fans say, Albert Finney caught Poirot far better than any other actor thus far. Let's hope Suchet retires from this role and someone else redoes the ENTIRE Poirot canon with due respect to the novels.
