West Point, 1830. A world-weary detective is hired to discreetly investigate the gruesome murder of a cadet. Stymied by the cadets’ code of silence, he enlists one of their own to help unravel the case — a young man the world would come to know as Edgar Allan Poe.



From the director of Hostiles, Out of the Furnace, Crazy Heart

Looks interesting.

I watched it this past weekend. It was ok, I can't say too much without being spoilery. The plot relies on a certain.......convenience that may be a deal breaker for some people. It all feels a bit contrived.

Bale is great and so is the guy who plays Poe imo. I felt it was worth the watch for the setting, atmosphere and their performances.

Thought it was pretty good.

Was surprised that Poe is played by the the guy that was Dursley in Harry Potter.

I would not have known that it was him.

The movie was ok. There a bit too many conveniences.

I watched it, was alright. Saw the twist very early on personally. 7/10 (yes, that is a good score)

It was ok I guess. Was expecting sleepy hollow but got something more mundane.

This exactly. My wife and I both liked it. I was expecting something a bit different judging by the trailer but liked it all the same.

Was alright, a solid 6/10

I'm not sure it's better than the dark brown eye.

Watched this last night and share most of the sentiment. Bale is always worth a watch, Melling was brilliant as were all the cast but it was the 'just so happens' plot that nullified it.

But.. it was worth a watch. I enjoyed it.
