The killer in this film decides to play a game with Edgar Allen Poe to challenge his intelligence by leaving clues to his next murder on his victims, in situations related to Poe's works. So why is he always there waiting for Poe and the police to arrive? what if he gets arrested or shot? it'd be over.
I'll tell you why, because we need chase scenes amidst this boring plot. Poe's fiancé get kidnapped by the serial killer via sloppy editing and locked in a coffin somewhere. But the audience doesn't care, to say she has no character is the mega- understatement of all time, she has one look on her face the whole movie, "smile", so she's smiling whilst locked in a coffin and whilst in other peril, and her actress if abysmally poor to boot.
John Cusack straddles a fine line between Eccentricity and Pure Over- Acting. I honestly don't know if he cared or if he tried too hard, neither would surprise me.
This movie is ultimately vapour, in one ear and out the other,there's nothing to hold onto once the film is over, no-one will remember this movie this time next year. It will occupy wall mart bargain bins forever.
