Good Movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2013)

I hang with professional Magicians who ripped this movie. I am also a magician. One said to me that he expected the whole movie to have actual magic tricks. If that was the case go to a theater magician production. THIS IS A MOVIE. Everything that was done was based on actual magic tricks and could have been done with real effects but a lot was done with editing or CGI. This was done because the amount of time that all the actor/actresses would have had to put in to be able to pull off the effects would have been almost a year. No one has that amount of time to put in for a single movie. I enjoyed the movie a great deal. I thought the writing was tight, the acting good, I have two problems with the movie. One the editing, the fight scenes are editing so badly you cannot understand what is going on. Either the editor or director wasn't comfortable with themselves and elected to go with fast editing which ruined that part of the movie and actually pulled me out and I had to push my way back into the movie. Second, everything was resolved
