Not since Primal Fear

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2007)

I went to see this without expectation and actually thought it was a Houdini expose', so wasn't anxious at all. Hoo Ray was I surprised! Ed Norton was fantastic! I readily think he could have done the entire movie without speaking a word! The body language, facial expressions, and eye movement spoke volumes. Paul Giamatti was very convincing, almost to a British end, entirely to the finish. Jessica Biel does wonders with her earthy beauty, developing her character from the proper little girl to the well off "girl next door" with a repressed "happiness" yearning to be free. A love story, mystery, drama, and thriller all in one. Very well put together and the ending was phenomenal! I'm sure seeing it again would have me thinking a lot more about events in the movie. SEE THIS MOVIE- You won't be disappointed!
