Good but...

Rating: 6/10 (16 March 2014)

The storyline isn't bad, I liked how they went from the discussion between the chief inspector and the crown prince to the story of their childhood to the main story and then back to the discussion. However it was a bit flat to me, and I wanted to see more tricks. The movie is pretty good but if I had to choose a movie about illusions, tricks and magic I'd definitely choose The Prestige over this one. The main reason is: everything is explained at the end. I quite liked it until they started explaining the trick. The end would have be better if they had just gave a glimpse of the truth and let the rest to the viewers' imagination... in my opinion.. On the other hand, I would have loved to know HOW he did the ghost trick. This deserved an explanation lol
PS: the main character looks too much like Richard Armitage, I'm confused...!
