Magnificent scenery, marvelous illusions

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2006)

The movie is about passion. Passion for magic, or should I say illusions, and passion for a woman. The question arises whether or not the illusionist is a real magician or (just) an illusionist. At the end of the movie it will be crystal clear.
So if you like magic tricks and (the illusion of the) supernatural, you will definitely be very pleased with this movie. The performance of both Edward Norton and Jessica Biel are quite convincing. Edward Norton's play differs very much from his performance in History X or The Fight Club. In this movie he plays the quite magician.
If you like mystery, magic and/or illusions, you have to see this movie.
