Interesting, but not great

Rating: 6/10 (15 April 2015)

As I often am, I am shocked by a rating of 1. I have seen terrible, unwatchable movies - this was not that. So 1 ratings seemed out of anger for people who's expectations were poorly met
I can't really discuss the plot much, other than to say it's quite twisty. But hardly the incoherent mess some people claim. Heck, I know of a top rated detective movie who's plot makes less sense. If you are looking for a brilliant plot, this is not it, but it's interesting
I enjoyed the characters quite a bit. The acting was quite acceptable. There were some very charismatic characters, which I always appreciate.
There's a lot of cool effects. The tricks are not totally unreasonable. It's not as clever as say, Oceans 11, but I think they tried. Consider it a sort of weird heist movie, with some twisty stuff thrown in.
I watched it all the way through, and did not hate it. In fact, I would probably watch it again. I admit I like illusion and heist movies and a reasonable amount of plot twists so why not
This is neither the best or the worst movie ever made. Not even close to either probably, meaning it's average. Maybe even above average, because there's a pretty girl and some fun stuff.
Don't watch if you can't suspend disbelief. I have a friend, PHD in physics, super smart dude who can watch movies for entertainment KNOWING there are countless examples of illogical stuff. But if for some reason you can't, I guess this isn't intelligent enough for you ( so few movies are though :)
