A young Hercule devises a strategy to help the Allied forces reclaim the victory during the WWII, but meets an accident afterwards that mutilates his face. 

Years later, he enjoys a great club scene where he witnesses Jacqueline introduces her fiance, Simon Doyle, to Linnet, her heiress childhood friend. Linnet offers Simon a job at her farm and the two seems to get along well, while Jacqueline watches from the side.

Weeks later, Hercule meets with his friend, Bouc while vacationing in Egypt. Later, Bouc introduces Hercule to Euphemia, his mother and later to Linnet and Simon, who have married and on their honeymoon. Hercule gets invited to join the honeymoon trip on the River Nile with the newly married, along with her cousin, some family members and friends, and also Salome and Rosalie, the singer - manager duo. 

Later, the newly wed meets with Hercule to request for protection as Jacqueline has been following them since Simon broke up with her and married Linnet.

Along the cruise, one by one, the members of the group reveals a secret that nobody knows before. 

During a celebration, Hercule drinks when he normally don't and later goes straight to bed. Meanwhile, Jacqueline and Simon gets into a fight where Jacqueline instinctively shoot his leg. Everyone runs panic to subdue Jacqueline and treat Simon's leg. 

The next day, Louise (Linnet's assistant), discovers the lifeless body of Linnet on her bed, with a shot to her head. Her valuable necklace has been stolen too. 

Since then, Hercule starts his investigation - but it seems that the closer he is to a clue, the more bodies come up.

Can Hercule solve the case before more people dies?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.7/ 5.0 Wow! I thought I know who the killer is when the killing starts, but as more bodies turn up and when the movie ended, I was dumbfounded. 

Whoa!

Cast: 4.8/ 5.0 Everyone was great!

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, I don't mind watching it again. And I hope more great novel get turned into a movie, like this one.
