Grade: B+

Notable People: Christian Bale, Harry Melling, Gillian Anderson, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Robert Duvall, Directed by: Scoot Cooper

Title:  The Pale Blue Eye

Review: a thriller on Netflix (after a short theatrical release last year) adapted from a novel by Louis Bayard. The plot follows retired detective Augustus Landor at West Point in 1830 West Point, as he investigates a series of murders at the Academy- with the surprising aid of a young military cadet, named Edgar Allan Poe. Quite few plot twist and turns, thug a bit slow moving, but t hatching foe the usual eccentric performance from Bales and a short but rewarding role for the 92-year-old Consigliere (Duvall). Was not as predictable as it might seem.
