Murder on The Orient Express being any good?

Of all the movies he has coming out this year, Green has the most personally riding on Murder on the Orient Express. It's the one screenplay he was most intimately involved in — he's the sole writer — and it's his first foray into a genre outside the action-superhero arena. (Sources say Green got about $1.25 million for the script; his weekly rate for rewrites is said to be $200,000.) Branagh, who not only directs but plays Hercule Poirot, says the pair forged a close relationship, riding on the real Orient Express together from Paris to Verona while location scouting for the film. "We were walking down corridors, looking at angles and how bullets could have worked," says Branagh. "It was fantastic."
