'A Haunting in Venice' is another Agatha Christie, Kenneth Branagh Poirot vehicle. Like its two predecessors it boasts an impressively eclectic cast, Tina Fey, Kelly Reilly, Michelle Yeoh, among others. I rather enjoyed those first two, even acknowledging their limitations, this one for some reason I had a harder time getting into. A little fatigue with the formula perhaps? Or more hypocritcally I may have been responding to the lack of movement. I had criticized Branagh's 'Murder on The Orient Express' for too much pointless running around, 'Venice' gave me the parlor atmosphere I had been asking for, yet I found that dull. I guess sometimes you can't go home again, in terms of cinematic styles at least. **1/2
