The Illusionist

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2007)

Im not a fan of Norton's I found him drab and irritating in Fight Club (which for me was a boring pointless film, start to finish) But in this i was mesmerised from start to finish, it held my attention constantly and the romantic storyline was fresh and heart warming. The sepia colour to the film made it nostalgic and captivating. I enjoyed the soft focus scenes and the flash backs. Paul Giamatti was perfect as Inspector Uhl. I grew to dislike the Crown Prince immediately at his low underhanded tactics due to his incompetence and jealousy of Eisenheim. It was a great film, its top of my list to buy as soon as possible. WATCH IT !!!!!!
