A six for entertainment value, but no more.

Rating: 6/10 (13 August 2015)

For a long time during watching the movie it had it's chances to get, let's say 8. But in the end I can't give more than 6 and I treat everything below 7 as not exactly worth watching.
But why? We have an opportunity to watch a VERY unrealistic movie. At the end we here that the man behind this was "planning every smallest detail" for years. Yet something like this could happen only in a movie. Let's look at only a couple of examples. The chance that Jack Wilder would reach the bridge at the exact minute or even second (if at all) to switch the vehicles would be zero in reality. The tricks with "teleportation" near the end were, of course, not possible. You can't just relocate tens of meters within three seconds or to the roof of a near building just like that. There are limits to what illusion/magic can do and that's why these things are not explained in the movie. The police arrest Thaddeus Bradley only because his car is loaded with loose banknotes, which could have been placed there but anyone. Yeah, let's hope police won't ever work like that in real life, because throwing a murder weapon through your window by a criminal would equal you spending rest of your life in prison, and packing a car with loose banknotes under the roof isn't exactly the best way of stealing money. There are many moments like that. There's just a difference between believing in something you don't understand how it was performed, but it was possible by the laws of physics and probability, and believing something that just didn't pass the laws of physics and probability.
Another huge flaw is the morals in the movie. The main character pursues Thaddeus Bradley and puts him into prison for probably many years for a crime he didn't commit in revenge for what? For exposing his illusion/magic tricks, which he believes led to the death of his father. Yeah, it's like you insult some guy, he commits a suicide and you're supposedly responsible for that. It's like some law from third world country where you're sentenced thirty years of prison for lèse-majesté or religious feelings offense. If the main character really believes that Bradley is responsible for the death of his father then it means he's mentally ill and should spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital, for the sake of other people's safety.
It COULD have been a good movie, really. It's just a pity it is not.
