We’ve spotted a few Malaysian personalities who are eagerly anticipating for this movie, and all of them have made their guesses on the potential murderer in Murder On The Orient Express.
Could it be the captivating Countess, or the imperious Russion royalty- The Princess (played by legendary actress Judi Dench), or perhaps The Missionary (played by Penelope Cruz) who is on an intense missionary and the zeal to improve the imperfect world?
We owe it to ourselves to seek the truth!

Saving the best for last, Depp is one of the main stars of attraction for Murder On The Orient Express. This time around, Depp plays The Gangster- a dark, dangerous, and sharp-minded mobster whom we think is the perfect fit for Depp’s persona!
