A well dressed and very magical love story.

Rating: 9/10 (18 March 2008)

The first thing that wows me about this film is it's cinematography.I admire how it is given a silent movie style dressing up because of the time period in which it is set,yet has modern day elements that you would have never seen in a silent film.Secondly,it is a well told love story about a magician with truly unbelievable powers,who uses those unbelievable powers to gain what is seemingly unreachable to him because of his status in life:the woman he believes to be his soul mate.Edward Norton is remarkable as the title character,while Paul Giamatti gives a performance that further enhances his maturity as an actor.The biggest surprise here is Jessica Biel,who is not someone you would picture in this role,yet she shows amazing potential and shines very brightly.Highly recommended.
