In August 1939, eight strangers are invited, by various tactics and misrepresentations, to Soldier Island, a small isolated rock off the Devon coast, and start to get killed one by one. Could one of them be the killer?
From its first golden images of drowning to the drawing-room showdowns on a dark and stormy night, And Then There Were None is a triumph of atmosphere and an adaptation bold enough to make you uncomfortable to the very last.
It's a portrait of a society, coolly and objectively done. It might be an old Christie novel, but it is socially realistic and socially critical. There isn't an ounce of coziness and the adaptation is the better for it.
The building blocks of Agatha Christie's famous locked-room mystery are kept intact, but this new version's drab atmosphere and straight-faced tone feel disconnected from the puppet-master playfulness of the book.
Even though it was written in 1939, as a serialized newspaper story, it feels modern in its moral complexities. Fans of British mysteries, cozy or edgy, won't want to miss it.
