No deeper layer, acting way overconfident.

Rating: 6/10 (30 June 2013)

I like movies with magicians, as I like The prestige 2006. Michael Caine was involved in this movie as well, so I had my high expectations. This movie could not live up to them.
Yes the movie is entertaining, it surprises the audience from time to time. Mark Ruffalo, Harrelson and Franco were awesome. Sorry, I'm just a Harrelson fan. But Eisenberg and Fisher were way too overconfident. Due to their way of acting, I guess Eisenberg was still stuck in his Zuckerberg-character, I did not believe in there characters. That's why I could not relate to them or care what would happen to the team of illusionists. This movie just did not blow me away.
This movie has no deep layers like we already saw in movies like The prestige or Inception. I guess we have to wait a year if we want to see a high level movie like these two when Interstellar will come out.
