Sepia-Tones its Way Through a Slog of Story-Telling Narrated by Whispering Thespians Playing Famous with E. A. Poe, West Point, and a Gothic Gore-Less Grind.
About Half the World of Modern Cinephiles will "Bail" in the First-30-Minutes Citing "Bored"...
Do these 21 Century Knee-Jerks know any other pejoratives. Oh Yea They Do!... SLOW
The Other Half that Still Have the Virtue of Patience and May Find this Somewhat Different and Captivating.
One of the 10 Best Actors Working Today...Christian Bale...Brings His "B-Game" to this B-Movie (its Netflix after all), and Most Netflix Movies, No Matter How Well Funded, Tend to View and Feel Like Fancy B-Movies.
