LOVED this story. Listened to the audio book version read by Dan Stevens (Yes, THE Dan Stevens). And he did FABULOUS. Great story....Great mystery...can't wait to read more from Agatha Christie.

I borrowed the audio book from my local library. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

I really enjoyed this film, and it genuinely made me smile when I was watching it. Dan Stevens was great as Dickens, and you could tell he really had fun playing the character. The movie was zany and exuberant and I loved it.

Interesting take on the super hero genre
Really interesting show, that leaves you wanting to know more after each episode. The story is confusing but slowly unwinds. The actors are also excellent through out. For more details have a review on my blog.

It's mostly nuts, absolutely insane at some points, but a great start to what I'm sure will be a fantastic series. Aubrey Plaza steals the focus in her scenes, in my opinion, and Dan Stevens is awesome in this starring role. Looking forward to starting Season 2 when I have time to actually sit down and focus on it without any distractions.

First things first, Aubrey Plaza was amazing. Then you through in Dan Stevens and Jemaine Clement? I loved it. I haven't really been able to get into Marvel TV properties, aside from Agent Carter. But, I couldn't resist Legion/David Haller. The visuals were psychedelic, and I really dug the aesthetic.
I wish the season was longer, and I really want the second season to air already, after that cliffhanger.

The first hour of this almost made me want to turn it off, I actually paused it to see how far I was into the movie... Around five minutes later, it seemed to finally start picking up. At first, you think it's a crazy, run of the mill religious cult, but then it's so much more and kind of messed up.
If the first hour had been edited down a little, I would have definitely rated it higher.

An unpredictable, suspenseful thriller
This was a suprising find for me. I paid £1 for this on blu ray and I have to say I am very very impressed.

The cast are great throughout but it is obviously Dan Stevens that knocks it out of the park as David. He shows sincerity which soons turns into this intense and sinister performance. He is full of suspense and you are constantly asking what his real story is and what his motives are. He plays this character well showing a lot of manipulation when using the families grief for their son to integrate himself into their lives. The performance of every other actor and actress are elevated that much more opposites his character.

The plot is interesting and 1 of those rare movies full of unpredictability. There are many parts I don't see coming and this goes on until the very end. The music is fantastic and the writing is perfect.

I'd love to see Dan Stevens do more action because the action in this was great and intense. There wasnt too much and I'm ok with that. It worked well with the tone of the movie. I loved seeing these little parts because it showed how dangerous this man really is.

I was a little bit disappointed with the ending because of how quickly it suddenly ended. I wanted more, I wanted to know what happened next but I guess that's the point.

Overall a fantastic movie, well worth a watch. Well paced, every scene felt it was building this suspense.
