Almost Great

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2013)

I truly enjoyed this movie. It's got all the fireworks of wondrous effects, intriguing plot and an amazing cast. I loved seeing Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine in roles that I would not have expected them in. That said it was missing a LOT of character development, never focusing on one character for too long. (Personally, I'm hoping this is more of a hook for the sequel, where they will do more character building and show more interaction between the illusionists, but we'll see.) I enjoyed the personalities of the magicians, I just wish we could have seen more of it. Other than that it's definitely a movie I plan to watch again and would recommend to others. I give it a solid 8/10.
