Let's agree that some movies need neither be "good" or "bad", just "mediocre", good enough to see once and pass your time and think of them... nevermore.
This is such a movie. Yes, you may see it once, though you are not actually lose if you don't, and then totally forget about it. See it never again, never mention it in a conversation, never make the mistake of recommending it to a friend.
John Cusack seems miscast in his role as the legendary writer Edgar Alan Poe and you might even say that his face expressions and mannerisms even make his portrayal hated. The rest of the cast supplements the protagonist just enough, the story is a cliché from begin to end, even the hole setup of the movie, intro and ending titles including, look like a parody.
Did I enjoy it? No, not even enough to watch it all in one sitting. Off to bed as soon as I got sleepy and views the last half an hour of the movie the other day. In the meantime, I had totally forgotten about it.
To sum things up, this movie just doesn't try enough nor even has the distinction of being a really bad movie. It is just... mediocre.
See it perhaps once and then nevermore.
