Not perfect, but definitely worth seeing.

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2013)

Don't be fooled. You will not leave the theater being disappointed. This film does not disappoint. The true magic is its ability to capture your attention. It engages you in the story whether it is outlandish or not, that is the thrill of the film.
I was let down by the lack of character development overall. It was evident throughout the movie, and the audience never gets a true look into the protagonists' personalities, which could be argued 'adds to the elusiveness of the magicians' but it was definitely lacking in that department. This is partly due to the writing. The writing could have been better, but then again no writing is perfect.
However, the film was a solid 8 overall for me. It delivered a perplexing plot of a chaotic and mystical game of cat and mouse. It did not fail to induce good laughter. The overall story inspired thought in the audience, and the resolution was closed well, yet still left room for interpretation which I enjoy. Believable? Hardly, but is magic believable? Appreciate this movie for what it is.
