When I sat down to watch "Crooked House" it was solely because it had Julian Sands on the cast list, as he is one of my all-time favorite actors. I had not heard about this movie prior to finding it because of his acting credits.And this being an Agatha Christie thing didn't really do much to entice me. But still, I decided to sit down and watch it.I must say that this movie was somewhat of a swing and a miss for me. It was not overly interesting, nor was it a movie that I really delved and immersed myself into. The plot just felt incoherent to me, but perhaps that is because I am not interested in who-did-it-murder-plots.What worked for "Crooked House" was the impressive cast list, which included Glenn Close, Julian Sands, Gillian Anderson and Terence Stamp. Yet, in my opinion, not even these performers could manage to do much for the story or the movie as such.I managed to endure the movie all the way to the end, although my attention was failing a couple of times throughout the course of the movie."Crooked House" is not the type of movie that you will watch more than once.

.... unfair reviews, great acting, great stars and very stylish. Well made piece of film, great music score, fast paced from start to finish! Give it a watch, don't listen to the trolls, i loved it!

When was the last time so many talented actors got together to create something so mediocre?It was pretty boring. Wasn't able to engage me in the plot. This is coming from a guy who loves mystery/detective movies. The production design and cinematography are pretty good though.Giving it a 1/2 star higher because it has a mind blowing ending.

They say no movie beats reading the original book and in this case it's again a valid point. With a book well written you can use your imagination completely, on how the characters look and what their part is in the mystery. In the movie though you don't get that same sensation. I thought Crooked House was very slow and a bit boring if I have to be honest. I would rather play a game of Cluedo than watching this movie again. It's just more entertaining. The cast wasn't bad though, but the story being so slow they couldn't make this movie better. I do like Agatha Christie's books but her movie adaptions seems not as good to me. And by the way I saw the end coming from far. I'm not sure that would have been the case with the book.
