REVIEW: The gothic thriller 'The Pale Blue Eye' features a grizzled detective (Christian Bale) and Edgar Allan Poe teaming up to investigate a series of killings.
’s Patsy may be the most normal person here. Unsurprisingly, she’s among the more underused members of the cast. It’s almost too bad — she’s too interesting, you verge on wanting her to insert herself into the story somehow, betray someone, liven things up., with its grim, snowy landscapes and shadowy interiors, can feel like a mood in search of a better story.
Which makes Bale a necessary counterpoint. He’s got the pain, but not the extremeness, at least not in this role. His wayward detective isn’t committed enough for this to be a job that gets him out of his slump, gives him a chance to redeem himself. This movie isn’t about that. He isn’t the detective as savior, nor is he really a man in need of saving, not exactly. Bale is somehow too even-keeled to dip firmly into an archetype.
