""Murder on the Orient Express" is a score as gripping and addictive as the mystery it was written for. Patrick Doyle brings al his classical tools and creates a musical canvas that is both subtle and meaningful, both romantic and tense. I hope him and Branagh keep doing movies together for a long time because there is a special place reserved for them in the history of film music. Enjoy another beautiful gem from Patrick Doyle; you know what you get when you listen to his music".
"One thing that's missing is the feeling of something big. By that I mean that the music feels like a small orchestra got together instead of a rather large ensemble. It doesn't automatically mean that the music suffers, but I was hoping and expecting this score to sound bigger than it is ... I wanted to really love this, at least like it more than I did. It's a fine score and it's a "safe" score, but I wanted more".
