Worth the price of admission.

Rating: 8/10 (2 September 2006)

It was either going to be Whicker Man or The Illusionist and thanks to IMDb we chose the better of the two which was The Illusionist. I read a few comments on this film and most of them were praising it. There were a few that said the acting by Jessica Biel was bad and that the ending was predictable. I didn't think Jessica put in an Oscar performance but she certainly wasn't bad - she did a fine job, i would have to say there was a part or two that were a little predictable but by no means did these two things make the movie bad in anyway. The movie keeps the viewer very much interested and Ed Norton does a great job as usual. Paul Giammati proves once again why he is one of the better actors in the business right now, he does a great job playing a chief inspector trying to discover how the mysterious magician played by Ed Norton does these very fascinating illusions. It is a little bit of a love story but it is not over done in anyway, it is suspenseful and will have you anxious to see the outcome, which I'm sure will not let you down. Definitely worth the price of admission - go see this movie.
