ABC谋杀案是一部剧情,悬疑,犯罪片，故事发生在1933年的英国，声名远扬的大侦探波洛（约翰·马尔科维奇 John Malkovich 饰）收到了一封匿名信件，寄信者在信件里预言了三场谋杀，并且给出了线索。虽然波洛报了警，但警方并没有太重视这封匿名信。果不其然，凶杀案发生了，名字以“A”和“B”开头的两位被害人均被以信件中所描述的方式杀死。 波洛明白自己必须开始和时间赛跑，去拯救唯一的那一位名字以“C”开头的幸存者。之后，波洛又陆续收到了几封内容相似的匿名信，可是当他着手调查这一切事件背后的真相时，却屡屡遭到阻拦，只有克罗姆警探（鲁伯特·格林特 Rupert Grint 饰）坚定的站在波洛侦探这一边。
Set in the 1930s, a time when Britain is dangerously divided and suspicion and hatred are on the rise, the story sees Poirot face a serial killer known only as A.B.C. As the body count rises, the only clue is a copy of The ABC Railway Guide at each crime scene. Poirot's investigations are continuously thwarted by an enemy determined to outsmart him. If Poirot is to match his nemesis, then everything about him will be called into question: his authority, his integrity, his past and his identity.
一句话评论：BBC出品阿加莎必为次品。BBC，毁原著的翻拍不分国界。这不是阿加莎的ABC，但抛开改原著，恐怕也不是一部合格的犯罪探案剧。既然剧这么烂，不如说说原著吧。难道只有“忠于原著”这一种方向吗？。历久弥新的阿加莎，历久弥新的谋杀案。问题不在改编。阿加莎作品SP化：高开低走 震荡调整。失望。不喜欢这个版本。
