Masterpiece
I have always been a fan of Edgar Allan Poe and share his middle name with the same spelling, which is not the more common spelling *Allen* and so I may be a little easier on it than some, but I also am a John Cusack fan as well, so the two of them together made for great chemistry. The movie is fiction as were Mr. Poe's writings and it was a murder mystery wrapped up in a period piece suit. It kept me interested and curious from the start to the final credits which were something else that were well crafted. I would say to anyone if you like murder mysteries and are a fan of Edgar Allan Poe and John Cusack you can't miss this movie. I'll give it a 4.5 out of a scale of 5. Not sure why the critics are all over it with negative reviews, but don't let that stop you as you can see from user reviews they are a lot more positive. I think a lot of the so called critics don't know a good movie when it bites them in the ****.
