2022. Agatha Christie's novel of the same name - with Hercule Poirot presiding. The end was pretty clear from the beginning, maybe because we had read the book or had read too much Agatha Christie or had become cynical and old and nothing surprises us because we can think of the worst scenarios anyway and it does not matter anyway even if you don't get it right because you anyway don't get it right most times and it does not matter even if you do get it right.
Anyway Hercule Poirot is hired by someone to investigate something (we don't know) but lands up on a cruise on the Nile with a newly married couple and the ex of the new husband following them. Soon we have murders - there are some ten people on board and about six of them get murdered and Poirot has no clue and everyone is just piling up the bodies quietly in the freezer where they keep the ham and moving on. Bride dies, doctor dies and so on and on until Poirot reveals what we always suspected - they did it for the money - and for love.
