Like in other versions of the story I've seen, the acting is pretty bad, although it seems like the 1933 and 1976 editions wasted less time on set-up. (Carl hadn't even explained anything to Ann when I tuned out after fifteen minutes.) Peter Jackson directed and co-wrote.
The story is mildly interesting, but Adrien Brody is seriously miscast, looking more like a '90s stand-up comic than a '50s detective. Allen Coulter directed.

Although I generally like Wes Anderson movies, I had the feeling as soon as Bill Murray was left at the station that I wouldn't be following this journey to the end. The sets are of course good, but I just didn't care about the tale of three American brothers on a train in India.
