Watched it last night. Period piece set at West Point. Murder Mystery stuff. Christian Bale was good as always but the Dudley Dursley's performance as Edgar Allan Poe was better.

I was born at West Point and my Dad and Uncles went to school there so I was particularly interested.

Fun mystery. A bit gruesome and far fetched but we liked it.

B+ Netflix fare.

Edit. For LS.

The acting was great. The movie itself was good as far as Netflix originals go, which isn't a high bar.

Wife picked it. She fell asleep but thats not because it was bad. I thought it was well worth watching. A little bizarre but the acting, and unique filming and setting in a rare time in history made it fascinating to watch.

Enjoyed it. I was concerned at first the EAP kid would be comical but he was great.

Sooo, what happened at the end?

I think so too but I do like the little bit of ambiguity. Supposing the note said, "this is happening with your help or without it." He got his answer on that option.

Watched it and thought as Netflix movies go, it's pretty good. I maybe late to realize this, but is Harry Melling a really good actor and likely positioned for a run of good roles and performances in the coming decade?

Harry Melling shined as EAP and stole every scene. Enjoyable watch and did not see the twist coming.

I'd say he nailed the elegant southern gentleman accent of the time and probably quirky personality of Poe very well.

My great grandfather had a similar manner and accent. Pretty cool.

Ahem. My cousin would appreciate it if you spelled his name correctly.

Been looking forward to this movie, so I'm glad people seem to like it so far.

Melling keeps getting better and better roles. He's recognizable now to many. Good actor.

Old Dudley has become a very good actor. Better than any other of the young Harry Potter actors. Never would have imagined that. Pretty decent movie.

Did you see him in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs? Talking about odd.

Enjoyed it and I love Christian Bale, but why does he not get that inner eye skin-colored mole removed?!

Idk why but it bothers me greatly.

Read the book about five years ago. Don't remember everything, but think did good job in bringing out feel and main plots.

Watched it last night and enjoyed it. Acting was great and enough in the story to keep me interested through the very end.

The first 1/2 was boring but necessary. I enjoyed the 2nd 1/2.

Enjoyed it. To me, this was the perfect Netflix at home movie. Maybe not one I'd see in a theater these days, but was very excited to watch it when it came out on Netflix. I'd recommend it.

Pretty solid, but in hindsight aggravated that we watched this instead of 2nd half of Jags-Chargers not knowing a crazy comeback was happening. It wasn't quite good enough for me to not have regrets

Movie was good. acting was pretty great. OP nailed it. B+

Interesting movie, but once I realized Poe was Dudley Dursley, it was a bit weird to watch. Certainly worth watching.

Man, no kidding.

Who would've looked at the Harry Potter movies cast and said, "I think that Dudley kid is gonna be hell of a dramatic actor."

He was outstanding as EAP, and like someone said above, completely dominated every scene he was in.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
