Review of The Pale Blue Eye (2022) by Jluis_001 — 06 Jan 2023
A tribute to the squandering of a great actor as a leading man in something that fell rather short of being an excellent detective story.
Even with the forced inclusion of Edgar Allan Poe as a character in this story in something that could have very easily gone the same route as 2012's The Raven followed, and that I honestly had zero references regarding the book this film was based on, The Pale Blue Eye poses a mystery that could have been sublime and yet only uses it as an excuse for what ultimately becomes a story of revenge and atonement that never lives up to the premise it originally posed.
We're barely 6 days into the year and with this movie and the cancellation of 1899 Netflix has already gotten me pretty pissed off.
