The Illusionist is even better than The Prestige

Rating: 7/10 (26 April 2009)

I never imagined that THE ILLUSIONIST was so good, magic and romantic.. It's a good plot with very nice sceneries turned in Prag. The director succeeded in developing suspense and keeping my attention from the start to the end.
I've been impressed by the great performance from Paul Giamatti playing the inspector. Edward Norton but also Jessica Biel delivered a solid performance. THE ILLUSIONIST is even better than THE PRESTIGE that was an interesting movie too.
The only negative critic I have are perhaps the tricks that are only possible in cartoons. Finally I think it's just a movie to enjoy without going in details. Be prepared on a surprisingly end.
All in all it worked and I spent a very entertaining Saturday evening. Rating: 7/10. Don't miss it.
