The Pale Blue Eye | Rotten Tomatoes (original) (raw)

Christina Newland iNews.co.uk The Pale Blue Eye falls flat in the conventionality of its final, fiery conclusion. Rated: 3/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I found the mystery itself a bit dull, but I liked the setting of this and the character Christian Bale is playing. Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian It’s made by a good director, has a fine cast, a compelling plot and an intriguing historical link to Poe’s fascination with death. Such elements make it worth watching, even if it does become predictable and silly by the end. Jan 17, 2023 Full Review Joseph Tomastik Loud and Clear Reviews It tells a tale that would fit right into a lineup of stories from Poe himself. Rated: 4/5 Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Ally Ham The Review Geek A superficial story that takes one too many creative liberties. Rated: 5/10 Jul 21, 2024 Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) Even with the strong performances of Melling, Bale, and the rest of the supporting cast, the mystery doesn’t provide a satisfying resolution despite the complex investigation that centres on the movie.

Synopsis West Point, 1830. In the early hours of a gray winter morning, a cadet is found dead. But after the body arrives at the morgue, tragedy becomes savagery when it's discovered that the young man's heart has been skillfully removed. Fearing irreparable damage to the fledgling military academy, its leaders turn to a local detective, Augustus Landor (Christian Bale), to solve the murder. Stymied by the cadets' code of silence, Landor enlists the help of one of their own to pursue the case, an eccentric cadet with a disdain for the rigors of the military and a penchant for poetry -- a young man named Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling).
