Wonderfully composed suspenseful who "dunit" mystery.

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2011)

Of course you wouldn't go wrong choosing this film to watch, for it is such a masterpiece and a film with fantastical special effects added in good measure for pleasure. The performance by the prideful crown prince Leo (Rufus Sewel) is starkly real and had me trembling, for he did embody a scary, soon to be (dread not!) potential power in the throne with a brashness of behavior amplified by the deviousness of the plotting magician. The cinematography and editing out did itself with fine finery. I loved this movie and its fantastical plot, unpredictable and nail biting at its best. The costumes glowed with authenticity. Get this film and be prepared for a labyrinth of a good ride!
