Released in 2022, this murder investigation film failed to find its audience despite its five-star casting. Two years later, it arrives on TF1+ so that you can form your own opinion.
Kenneth Branagh, Gal Gadot, Emma Mackey, Letitia Wright, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie… With such a cast, Death on the Nile had all the ingredients, at first glance, to attract people to theaters. And yet, this was far from the case. With a budget of 90 million dollars, the film only grossed 137 million worldwide, which means that it is barely profitable, while we do not know the marketing costs. Two years after its release, Death on the Nile arrives on TF1+ to form its own opinion and determine whether this semi-failure was deserved or not.

A new Hercule Poirot saga
In the 2010s, 20th Century Fox decided to relaunch a new adaptation of the adventures of Hercule Poirot, the famous character born from the pen of Agatha Christie in 1920. This time, it is the British actor Kenneth Branagh who plays the Belgian detective. In the eyes of the general public, the latter is known for having the zany Gilderoy Lockhart, professor of defense against the dark arts in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. But more recently, the actor has appeared in numerous Christopher Nolan films such as Dunkirk, Tenet and Oppenheimer.
Besides, the latter also plays the role of director in the first part, namely The Crime on the Orient-Express released in 2017. With more than 350 million dollars collected at the box office for a budget of 55 million, a sequel is obviously being started with the same principle as for the original feature film, namely to offer a five-star cast in a film of investigation.
But who killed Linnet Ridgeway?
Death on the Nile follows the adventures of Hercule Poirot after solving the murder on the Orient Express. This time, the action takes place in Egypt, aboard a steam cruise ship, the SS Karnak. While Linnet Ridgeway and her husband Simon Doyle were on the boat on their honeymoon, the latter was murdered.. If her best friend whose fiancé she stole seems to be the obvious culprit, the famous Belgian detective is not fooled and will do everything in place to discover the truth. All we have to do is watch the feature film on TF1+ to find out who the murderer is.
