Thus far, there have been three Kenneth Branagh films based on Agatha Christie’s famed detective, Hercule Poirot. The third, “A Haunting in Venice,” features Kelly Reilly as Rowena Drake, the mother of a deceased child, Alicia, whom she hopes to reconnect with through the medium Joyce Reynolds (Michelle Yeoh).
Of course, Rowena’s real plan is to expose Joyce as a phony who is simply preying on the grief of suffering people like herself. However, she gets more than she bargained for when Joyce speaks in Alicia’s voice and declares that someone attending the séance is responsible for her death. This sets off a chain of murders in this twisty-turny mystery where nothing is as it seems.
Sweetening the pot, “A Haunting in Venice” was also well-received by audiences and critics, landing itself a 76% rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Though all five projects listed above might be worth a watch for fans of the “Yellowstone” actor, the variety of movies and shows that we’ve selected will hopefully help Reilly devotees to find something that’s worth their time.
