History Film / DeathOnTheNile2022

* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The passengers/suspects aboard the ''Karnak'' become a lot more overtly suspicious and even hostile towards each other as the story progresses, compared to the original novel. At one point, two of the suspects literally come to blows. The reveal, towards the end of the film, that [[spoiler: Poirot was hired to investigate the Otterbournes at Euphemia Bouc's behest]] further adds to the atmosphere of distrust. Taken UpToEleven by the fact that [[spoiler: the person who stole Linnet's necklace and the third murder victim in this adaptation are none other than Poirot's old friend Bouc, which emotionally shatters the detective and makes the case much more personal for him.]]

* DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler: Bouc]] is murdered before he and Rosalie can take the next step in their future and Poirot is unable to act on his attraction to Salome due to the night's events.

* CoolBoat: The Karnak is quite a pleasing river boat to see and visit.

* CrimeAfterCrime: [[spoiler:[[RuleOfThree There are three murders]]. The second and third are to silence witnesses to the previous killings.]]

* GambitPileUp: [[spoiler: Simon and Jacqueline were only planning to murder Linnet to then make it off with her money but then Jacqueline had to kill both Louise who saw Simon sneak in Linnet's room to murder her and Bouc who saw her dispose of Louise]]

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Poirot is revealed to have grown his mustache to hide the massive scarring across his upper lip... except scar tissue cannot grow hair. His luxurious whiskers should be patchwork at best.

* RetCon: At the end of the previous movie, Poirot is called to solve the case of a murder on the Nile, which contradicts the events in this movie (though no details were given, so it's easily handwaved as being a separate case).

* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: Bouc does not actually die in the source material, nor had a role in Death on The Nile, in contrast to here]].

* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:Bouc.]]

Simon and Linnet go on a gala honeymoon, a cruise down the Nile River in UsefulNotes/{{Egypt}}. They have a lot of friends on board with them, but as it turns out, most of their "friends" have grudges against Linnet. Linnet's maid Louise (Creator/RoseLeslie) resents Linnet for having torpedoed Louise's chance at marriage. Linnet's old classmate Rosalie Otterbourne (Creator/LetitiaWright) is a black woman who was once subjected to racist prejudice from Linnet, although they became friends. Dr. Linus Windlesham (Creator/RussellBrand) is Linnet's old lover, dumped for Simon. Linnet's cousin Andrew (Ali Fazal) turns out to have been embezzling from Linnet's estate. Linnet's godmother Marie Van Schuyler (Creator/JenniferSaunders) despises her fortune but stands to inherit if she dies. Marie's nurse Mrs. Bowers (Creator/DawnFrench) is a companion/servant because Linnet's father destroyed her father in business. But the angriest person on the cruise is Jacqueline de Bellefort, who did not take being dumped at all well, and is stalking Simon and Linnet on their honeymoon, shooting {{Death Glare}}s from her eyes all the while.

Also appearing in the AllStarCast are Creator/SophieOkonedo (Rosalie's aunt, Salome Otterbourne); Creator/TomBateman as Bouc, old friend to both Poirot and Linnet; and Creator/AnnetteBening as Bouc's mother Euphemia.

* AdaptationDyeJob: Linnet has golden blonde hair in the book, but here she's played by the dark-haired Gal Gadot.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: '''All''' the passengers on the ''Karnak'' have a personal connection to Linnet Ridgeway, connections that in most cases they didn't have in the original novel.
** Miss Van Schuyler is Linnet's godmother in the film, whereas in the original novel they were strangers to each other.
** Andrew Katchadourian, due to his AgeLift, is reimagined as Linnet's childhood friend and honorary 'Cousin', as opposed to being her father's old friend and her honorary 'Uncle'.
** Rosalie Otterbourne is depicted as Linnet's old schoolfriend, while in the novel she had no personal connection to Linnet.

** Rosalie Otterbourne is Salome's niece and ward in this version, rather than her daughter as in the novel.

** [[spoiler: Simon tells Jacqueline to kill Louise who saw him sneak into Linnet's room]]
** [[spoiler: Later he signals Jacqueline to shoot Bouc through the throat after realizing that he was about to tell Poirot who killed Louise]]

* InheritanceMurder: The reason why Poirot suspects Cousin Andrew and Linnet's godmother Marie Van Schuyler [[spoiler: He's right, since this turns out to be Jacqueline and Simon's motive for Linnet's murder]].

* LoveMakesYouCrazy / LoveMakesYouEvil: Half of the people on the boat are suspects because, as Poirot observes, "People kill for love."

* AdaptationalJobChange: Salome Otterbourne is a jazz singer in this adaptation, rather than being a romance novelist.

* AdaptedOut: In the novel the ''Karnak'' had a lot more passengers than appear in the film, and a lot of parallel plotlines and red herrings are dropped from the film alongside them.

''Death on the Nile'' is a 2022 American [[MysteryFiction mystery thriller]] and the follow-up to 2017's ''Film/{{Murder on the Orient Express|2017}}''.

It was due to release on October 9, 2020, but was delayed several times until ultimately releasing on February 11, 2022 (due to the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic and scandals surrounding Creator/ArmieHammer).

Just about the only person on the river cruise without a connection to Linnet is the famous Belgian detective, Literature/HerculePoirot ([[DirectedByCastMember Branagh]]), although unlike the source novel when he's simply on a vacation, this time he's on the cruise for a reason. So it's not quite a BusmansHoliday when poor Linnet is murdered, and Poirot has to find out who killed her.

* MurderSuicide: [[spoiler:After their plot is revealed, Jacqueline ends up shooting both herself and Simon to avoid facing the punishment for what they did. It’s implied that Simon was not expecting her to do that, based on the shocked look on his face after she shoots him.]]

* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: [[spoiler:Shortly before she's murdered, Linnet tries to apologise to Jacqueline because she was once her only friend who never cared about her money. Turns out the entire murder scheme is to get their hands on that money.]]

* PillowSilencer: [[spoiler:Simon uses a scarf to muffle the sound of shooting himself in the leg.]]

** Salome's main argument as to why she is not the killer. If she were the type to kill anyone who behaved in a racist manner towards her, then "the world would be littered with dead white girls".
