Forgettable

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2009)

Ed Norton plays Eisenhein,a magician famous for his spectacular shows and mind-blowing tricks. As a young kid he was friends with Sophie, a duchess but they were taken apart and never saw each other again.Eisenhein then traveled the world learning the art of magic. One day he sees Sophie, now engaged to a crown prince, in one of his shows.From that point on the film focus on Eisenhein attempt to free Sophie from the royal house of Vienna so that they can finally be together.The movie is OK, to be honest, it didn't blew me away and I found the story quite predictable, half way trough the movie I had already figured out what was going to happen,obviously I didn't know all the details but I figured out the big twist almost right away. Plus I don't think this was the best showcase of Norton's abilities. However if you're into period pieces and original(although predictable) plots then give it a try.
6.5/10
