And Then There Were None is a
three-part BBC TV mini-series adapted from the same-named famous novel by
Agatha Christie.
The story
is set on an isolated island. The
scenery is poetic and the cinematography is poetic. The set production is
beautiful and it really looks like the 40's. The editing is excellent as the
flashback of the characters are done brilliantly without interrupting the flow
of the story. I like the practical effects in the story, for example, the
hanging and gunshot looks realistic.
The acting
is superb and I recognize many faces such as Sam Neill, Miranda Richardson, Charles
Dance, Burn Gorman, etc. I remember Sam Neill and Miranda Richardson acted
together in Merlin (1998). Burn Gorman always act as the bad boy, for instance,
in Torchwood, Agatha Christie's Marple, and The Dark Knight Rises, etc.
By the way,
there are some very good senior British actors that I like, to name a few, Ian
Richardson [Murder Rooms: Mysteries of the Real Sherlock Holmes (2000), Gormenghast
(2000)], Ian McKellen [X-men (2000), The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of
the Ring (2001), Vicious (2013), Mr. Holmes (2015)], Michael Caine [Batman
Begins (2005), The Prestige (2006), The Dark Knight (2008), The Dark Knight
Rises (2012), Cary Grant [Bringing Up Baby (1938), The Philadelphia Story
(1940), A Affair to Remember (1957), North by Northwest (1959), Walk Don't Run
(1966)], Christopher Lee [Gormenghast (2000), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
(2005), Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)].
A plot hole
I can think of is that the figures are removed as each person is killed. They
can then just hide somewhere near the table and observe who removes the
figures!
This is
another case on lynching. It reminds me of Curtain: Poirot's Last Case which also
talks about lynching.
