Agatha Christie's Poirot: Murder on the Orient Express/东方快车谋杀案

This is an excellent story about how a detective fights with a group of "criminal group" with well-planned murder, but the real excellent part is the debate on the law vs faith in the ending part rather than the detection itself. When the justice can not be realized, can individuals replacing God to run justice? In fact, this is a hot topic in many movies.

Quotes:
Hercule Poirot: [furious] You had no right to take the law into your own hands!
Hildegarde Schmidt: M-m-monsieur Poirot, she was five years old!
Caroline Hubbard: We were good civilized people, and then evil got over the wall, and we looked to the law for justice, and the law let us down.
Hercule Poirot: No! No, you behave like this and we become just... savages in the street! The juries and executioners, they elect themselves! No, it is medieval! The rule of law, it must be held high and if it falls you pick it up and hold it even higher! For all of society, all civilized people will have nothing to shelter them if it is destroyed!

本片虽然是一人对抗一个精心策划的“犯罪集团”的精彩故事，但真正出彩的部分并非在于破案过程本身，而在于片尾部分关于法律和信仰的辩论。当正义无法伸张，个人是否能代替上帝来主持人间的正义？其实这就是贯穿于很多电影的主题。
