HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

paid in full Agatha Christie. Wow. If she was still around movies would be so much better. This tale is chilling (in a good way) once you figure out what is going on. Great job.

frankwarren As a reader of Dame AC for 76 years I always found HP difficult. For me, Suchet's triumph - genius - is in constructing a reality from an impossibility. As for Curtain, it is no surprise that the author delayed publication for 30 years, almost until after her death. Poirot and Hastings have aged beyond recognition and several devices in the novel would appear to be stolen from other stories except that it is actually the other way round. Chandler would probably have called it a reverse cannibalization. The author appears to have taken a strong dislike for her creation and takes her revenge not only on him but on Hastings too who is treated with contempt by both the detective and the daughter. I suspected what my impression would be and should have avoided seeing the production but my curiosity as to how Alice Orr-Ewing would portray Judith was too strong. Curiosity killed the cat.

Ivan Anastassov I am someone who has enjoyed many of Poirots episodes. The calm tone, good acting and decent dialogue had made it something that I was looking forward to watching. The final episode does not do any justice to the series. The lighting and decor appear to be purposefully bleak and depressing (unlike most other episodes where the color interplay always involves some strong nice colors as well). The plot and ultimate ending are simply unbelievable. Moreover, in my opinion this episode possibly casts a shadow over the morality of both Poirot and Hastings. There is other stuff too going on in this episode that is hardly worth mentioning simply because none of the characters seemed to have any particularly redeeming qualities. They were all kind of bland like the lightning and decor. All in all, very disappointed...

scholey *possible spoiler-not the murderer though* Firstly I am a huge fan, I have all the box sets and I often re-watch the episodes, I watched Curtain: Poirot's last case and I was not immediately taken by it, I thought it was good, quite a departure from the standard format but the more I reflected on it, the more I was drawn to well, the nostalgia of it, Poirot's last case, or more appropriately last act. Here we have an ailing Poirot, sometimes quite nasty and even unpleasant, mostly towards his closest ally Hastings, constantly in pain and in his final act he gives all he has left in his failing body to protect Hastings and his daughter from harm, not to mention many others. Where one is lead to believe he is treating Hastings badly he is really solidly behind his old friend. I was really not expecting this type of ending from Christie for Poirot but the more I reflect the more I think it was perfect.
