captivating movie

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2006)

This movie is truly captivating. Ed Norton as usual delivered an astonishing performance. I was hesitant at first since Jessica Biel has not always picked the best movie roles, but she too was captivating and this might be the role that gives her a little bit of credit. The era is perfectly portrayed and the movie was captivating the entire way through. Even after the movie was over I found my self asking questions of how the illusionist was able to do what he did! I would recommend this movie to anyone that believes in the unbelievable and who wants to sit in awe throughout the movie. I can say without fail that if you allow yourself to become engulfed in the movie you leave with a strange feeling of being truly moved and captured by a wonderful movie. Go see this movie, then see how you feel when you leave the theatre.
