Movie Review: A Haunting in Venice

In the new movie "A Haunting in Venice" actor Kenneth Branagh once again plays his role as detective Hercule Poirot. The last movie in this series was last year's "Death on the Nile", which was not reviewed on this blog, mainly because of the low ratings.

These two movies were taken from Agatha Christie novels. As far as this new and hopefully last installment of this mystery/murder series, due to the fact that the two hours were so boring, I for one hope this is the last film.

The story of A Haunting in Venice takes place in Venice Italy, and one flaw is that not nearly enough of the city was shown in this movie, because at least this boring film could probably be converted into a quick travelogue to Italy. Most of this film is shot inside of a massive church-like building. almost always at night, raining and way too dark. The story about a series of murders takes the entire 2 hours to fully resolve, but when it was finally over, I found it too boring to even care about the ending.

A Hunting in Venice stars Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, and Kelly Reilly. Once again, due to the blog and relatively high and incorrect high ratings of 79% on Rotten Tomatoes, I sat through this pretty bad movie, with my rating of only 50% and a solid pass, for everyone except those who have a severe sleep disorder.
