The Raven(2012)- User Reviews

This movie gets 2 stars for everyone elses perfomance and especially Luke Evans. I am not a big Cusack fan, and this movie did not change my opinion of him at all!! He was not the right person to play Poe! Cusack was absolutely dismal and uninspiring …more»

I have been very interested in mysterious historic-fic. thrillers ever since 2009's Sherlock Holmes film. John Cusack was perfect in his performance as Edgar Allan Poe, and the twists and turns in this film keeps the story interesting. The movie is …more»
