Member Rating:  
First filmed as a theatrical feature in 1982, Agatha Christie's 1940 mystery novel Evil Under the Sun was remade as a two-hour episode of the off-and-on British TV series Poirot. David Suchet is back as the infuriatingly brilliant and fussy Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, who after suffering a fainting spell at a posh restaurant is whisked off to a fancy health resort along the Devon Coast. As he recuperates, Poirot is able to relax, secure in the belief that he can give his sleuthing a bit of a well-deserved result. Alas, this is not to be. Another guest at the resort, a world-famous actress, is murdered -- and virtually everyone else in the vicinity had both motive and opportunity to do the dirty deed. First telecast in the U.K. in 2001. Evil Under the Sun made its America bow on July 13, 2003, courtesy of the A&E cable network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    Totally awesome Movie. If you like suspense movies with a plot and deduction, this is one to watch. Infact all movies based on Agatha Christie are awesome like "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile".

    The description says David Suchet, who I really love as Poirot, was supposed to be in this movie. But the version I got was an older one with Albert Finney who does a fine job. Just a very different interpretation of Poirot. Maggie Smith was wonderful as the "inn keeper" of the exquisite villa, shot mostly in pastels to hint at a Mediterranean climate. Diana Rigg, as always, did an excellent portrayal of the fading vamp. With scenery so beautiful it pulls you in, very good acting, and Agatha Christie's surprise plot, this is a very entertaining movie.
