Review of Five Little Pigs

'Five Little Pigs'is a hauntingly beautiful film with brilliant performances from its entire cast, especially David Suchet (Hercule Poirot) and the amazingly beautiful,Rachael Stirling (Caroline Crale). I haven't read the novel, and so won't compare the film with the book. It is indeed a very sad, melancholic story which poignantly illustrates the dark shades of the human psyche,..there is very little alleviating about the film, and in my opinion that is how indeed it should be! The performances by the entire cast are first rate, and you indeed feel sorry for everyone involved...even the real murderer at the end. Another thing that struck me was that the "suffering" wife looked a lot better than the "other woman",who came across as childish in comparison... something that has also been rightly been commented upon by another reviewer! Another masterpiece from the "Poirot" series....go ahead and watch it...at least once...the story and the performances will stay with you for a long time, I promise! Agatha Christe was indeed the undisputed "Queen of Crime Fiction"...hats off to her !!
