The Illusionist is a must watch

Rating: 9/10 (25 August 2015)

Illusionist is must watch. In start it appears to be a fairly ordinary story but at end everything becomes extraordinary. If you like mysteries, you will definitely love Illusionist.
Acting of Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti is brilliant. Costumes used in movie is very believing(unlike some other movies). In start it is a bit slow but soon it catches up. Music fits perfectly in place.
Eisenheim, the illusionist(or magician), is the main character of movie, played by Edward Norton. He was born in family of peasants of Vienna. He got interested in magic after watching a traveling magician. As a child Eisenheim used to show magic tricks to Sophie,Duchess of Teschen,secretly. 'Character of Sophie is played by Jessica Biel.They fell in love. Magician promised little Sophie, that one day he will make themselves disappear from this world. But one day they were caught and got separated. Eisenheim started to wander around world practicing magic. After 15 years, he came back to Vienna.In one of his magic shows, he met Sophie. He came to know that Sophie was going to be married to Crown Prince Leopold, played by Rufus Sewell.Things between Leopold and Eisenheim did not go well.
Meanwhile Chief Inspector(Paul Giamatti) became good friend with Eisenheim. Still he cannot go against Leopold and thus followed his order to refrain Eiseheim from conducting shows.
On a morning Sophie was found dead and Leopold was suspected for this. Chief Inspector investigated more and found gem of Crown Prince's Sword along with Sophie's locket. Chief Inspector then went to arrest Leopold. Leopold pulled gun towards inspector but officers arrived at right moment. Leopold got arrested. Eisenheim left the city. As soon as you think, movie is over,a twist comes and suddenly everything changed. Who killed Sophie??? Leopold or Eisenheim or someone else...
Want to know the answer?? then watch the movie.
