Wonderful Film

Rating: Null/10 (10 February 2007)

I recently watched this remarkable movie on DVD and all I can say is that I want to apologize to everyone involved who was responsible for the making of this movie. To the director, actors, writers and producers... I'm sorry for not having paid to see this at the cinema and for not supporting it sooner. I now own a copy on DVD and I'm recommending it to everyone I know.
The Illusionist is a heady and heartfelt instant classic in my book. It dabbles with mysticism but never loses sight of character. It tells a wonderful story and keeps you guessing throughout. Marking its true greatness is the fact that the director utilizes every bit of the phenomenal acting talent that he assembled. Norton hits a home run, Giamanti is perfect and Biel displays acting chops to go along with her stellar beauty. The Illusionist is what the cinema is for, too bad I missed the opportunity to view it on the big screen.
