One of the more elegant tropes of mystery thrillers that vaguely quote certain settings and situations from the Hercule Poirot "Orient Express" story is the rich eccentric loner who invites his friends (peers / collaborators / co-conspirators) on an island (that he usually owns). That's the premise of this film, too, and the execution in terms of SFX, camera, costumes, music etc is impeccable. But that's about it. There is not one line of dialogue, not one character, not one plot twist that is not foreseeable or predictable. The whole thing looks way too expensive and feels way too shallow. And the actors... in some rare moments they seem to have some fun, but most of the time they just deliver lines. No idea who greenlit this script, and even less an idea who allowed the director to simply go ahead with it as written (if that's what he did). Overall, this non-mystery film is a huge waste of talent, resources and time, including mine.
