The last days of Edgar Allen Poe are filled with a murder mystery driven by his stories. I'm sad to say this is one of those Hollyweird formula movies. Basically this is From Hell (2001) seasoned with the new Sherlock Holmes offerings. They do a nice job of pitching the works of Poe so I'm wondering if one or more of the producers have acquired some of the rights. I imagine more than a few people will be buying some Poe compilations to make sense of some of the references. The movie itself is medium entertaining... my attention wandered here and there, but I still wanted to see where things were going. Overall its milquetoast. Sorry John.
