The movie is a US remake of the classic British whodunnit, with a comical twist. However Craig's acting was cringingly awkward and distracting, with a poor attempt at a southern accent. That's not his fault, but the director's to not recognize this failure. Somehow they tried to emulate Poirot with a Southern accent. If done well, it could have been funny.

At some point in the movie we got used to it and overall it was entertaining. But it could have been a great movie with some better choices.
