John Cusack is such a great actor, unfortunately, this movie does not give him the chance to perform. His portrayal of the character, Edgar Allen Poe, seems unfocused; he's dark, then a drunkard, then in love. The audience has no time to connect with Poe before he changes into someone else. Only in scenes where he shows anger do we get glimpses of what Cusack could have done with Poe. This story had so much potential but never quite gives you the opportunity to be pulled into the intrigue. There were a few grusome scenes thrown in for shock and awe but it was basically murder, clue, solution; 1,2,3, and 1,2,3... a bit of a slow boring waltz. This would have made a great made for television, three part mini-series. Save your money.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
