This movie kept you thinking. A typical killer mystery, but with a twist of history. I have always been a Poe fan, but for some reason I felt this was not what Poe would talk or act like, but maybe I am wrong. Who knows... Anyway, off topic. When it comes down to it, it is not the best thriller movie, but just watch it and you'll be very amused with the twists and turns. I really enjoyed myself.

Nope. John Cusack is not Edgar Alan Poe and he made this movie to prove it. This may have been a good movie with just about any other actor. Cusack just shows up and repeats his quirky performance over and over again. He doesn't have the flexibility required to play a genius writer. Not even close.

I have always loved Poe's work, from poems to short stories. This movie was a good thriller, great acting, interesting plot twists but it seems something was missing.
